RealClearPolitics - The 'Public Option' Health Care Scam
RealClearPolitics - The 'Public Option' Health Care Scam:
Some statements are inherently unbelievable. Such as: 'I am an official of the government of Nigeria, and I would like to deposit $60 million in your bank account.' Or: 'I'm Barry Bonds, and I thought it was flaxseed oil.' And this new one: 'I'm Barack Obama, and I favor more competition in health insurance.'
That, however, is the claim behind his support of a government-run health insurance plan to give consumers one more choice. The president says a 'public option' would improve the functioning of the market because it would 'force the insurance companies to compete and keep them honest.'"
