Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! So much for a liberal media...


In a quote from an article about health care moving thru the house...

"There continues to be a lot of back-and-forth between varying wings of the Democratic caucus. The most-liberal factions are pushing for the so-called "public option," a federal health insurance plan that would be made available to people who are uninsured. But some conservative Democrats are bucking that idea, preferring to limit the scope of the plan."

NO!!! The most-liberal wing wants Single Payer.. the public option IS the compromise.. Why do I NEVER hear that point brought out..

1. Hardly the media's fault.
You don't hear that point made in the media because that point is never made by the Democrats.

2. It's not just the "more liberal - public option" spin...

...it's describing the public option as "made available to people who are uninsured." The moderate position is that there should be a public option available to all. The conservative position would put limits on that so that only a small percentage of people could use it.
