Public Option? What is the Public Option?


I'm tellin' ya! This is scarey.
The people are so tired of hearing about HCR that they appear willing to just take whatever the Congress can sell us on as being "good enough" rather than us insisting that the best option is what they need make law and nothing less.

By the time this "Public Option" hits the table in it's final draft, it isn't going to look anything like what a lot of people think it's going to. It has purposly been made much more complicated than it need be, (or the Single Payer plan is) for just that sort of wiggle room so the politicans in Congress can equally appease the insurance industry while appearing to be serving "the people".

I am no expert on what the particulars are that were originally presented by "Public Option" or what they will ultimately turn into. But I can tell you what Single Payer is, by comparison. And it's not the game show that's taking place over and around the constant revisions of the Public Option as we told it might be.

Here's a link to the National Organization of Women web site where you can see at a glance the difference between Public Option and Single Payer.
You decide which offers the best and clearest plan to consider allowing Congress to settle upon on our behalf.
