Republicans would be clamoring for the Public Option if we were pushing for Single Payer

Advertisements [?]

Republicans would be chanting "Public-Option, Public-Option" at town hall meetings and drowning out their duly elected Representatives if we were pushing for Single Payer, and who knows, they just might win.

President Obama, my President Obama, would be better off shooting for the whole ball of wax and losing than starting off with compromise and indicating a perfect willingness to settle for less. Would you begin negotiations for a new car or home by offering the highest price you were willing to pay as your opening bid?
