Jan 2013

Read that Democratic Congresspeople are coming with a proposal to reduce expenditures by introducing a pubic option.

That can only happen of Obamacare is there to provide a structure.

Give me a break. Another name for the public option is "Medicare". It's only been there for 50 stinkin' years. The structure has existed for a long time. Obama just failed to find a way to leverage it. (And continued to block their ability to negotiate lower drug prices.)

They have a civil war.

Now THAT'S the truth!
