CBS News: "Heath Reform Debacle" (Reporter goes to Cato Institute for opinion on healthcare)
Here are some chestnuts from this report by Sharyl Attkisson which is decidedly against a public option:

Michael Cannon of Cato: "Employer premiums will go up and employers might respond by dropping coverage entirely. If you are one of those unfortunate workers, it will be a government policy that ousted you from your health plan."

Sharyl Attkisson: "Under government healthcare your doctors could be paid 20-30% less" (Your doctors will disown you)

Micheal Cannon: "The government can subsidize its plan with tax revenue from other taxpayers. The government can enact regulations that favor its plan over private insurers."

1. The government can do this and that...
You know what the private health insurance companies can do? Tell you to go fuck yourself when you get sick.

I'll take the government as my insurer every single fucking time.
