Now that it's clear that the plans with robust pubic options are better, MUCH better, cost-wise than the watered down co-ops, or the plans with no Public option, What do we see from WaPo?


In health debate, those numbers are just numbers
The CBO's price tags are educated guesses, but guesses nonetheless
