Remember "homicide bombers"? FauxNews is at it again - it's a "Government-run or state-run option"

Apparently, the "reframing" memo is out - there is no "public option."
I waded into the "parade of propaganda" cesspool this morning and within the span of five minutes they must have said "Government run or state-run option" a dozen times. They're not even pretending anymore.
4. I understand, but maybe it's better to embrace it
Compare it to Medicare a little more.
Another thing we could do is see how well workman's comp reform worked. Most states moved from a strictly state centralized system to insurance company management. I think most businesses still go through the "public option" anyway. Maybe making that comparison would be helpful. I don't have any statistics or info on happiness with that reform. I know for the worker it sucks because it removes compensation from the employer to that "damned insurance company" that the employer just can't do a thing about. So they say. We have to make our case better than they are.
