Reply #140: Addressing the argument, not the issue.

Post said it was unfair for red state people not to have access to a public option available in blue states. My point was that it is equally unfair for blue state people to be denied a public option just because red states don't want it and universal coverage folks won't accept half a loaf. Two wrongs don't make a right.

On the issue: I favor a single-payer or strong nationwide public option. Private for-profit health insurance is nobody's friend.
