Watering Down the Watered-Down

The Democrats are at it again. In order to further appease the minority Republicans and Blue Dogs, as well as their paymasters in the insurance industry, Dems have further watered-down the already watered-down public option...by privatizing it. So we've gone from dreams of single payer, compromising out to a public option, compromising further to a public option that allows states with Republican governors to "opt out", and finally to a plan that just forces poor people back into the private insurance market.

Thanks, Democrats. You're really turning this country around.
