The "public option" is nothing more and nothing less than government-run health care. Americans have figured that out, and they don't want it. So what do you do when you're desperate to sell a product nobody wants? You rename it.
Co-ops = Public Option = Government-run health care
The sooner America learns that equation, the better.
- Co-Ops Would Be Funded By Federal Government.
- Co-Ops Would Be Regulated By Federal Government.
- Co-Ops Would Force Individuals Who Want To Join To Go Through State Governments.
- The Federal Government Would Use Co-Ops To Monopolize Health Insurance.
Fannie Med, the mini-me public option:
“[T]hese co-ops sound a lot like a health-care Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... The duo proceeded to use their government subsidy to dominate the market and drive out private competitors.”
Sen. Leader Harry Reid: "We’re going to have some type of public option, call it 'co-op,' call it what you want..."
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
