No public option stinks
Without the public option it stinks. Medicare spends three cents of the healthcare dollar on "administration." Insurers spend forty cents. Medicare does Not have death panels, despite the hateradio lie, but insurers have had them for decades. I worked at Blue Cross long ago and saw the code in an IBM MVS/OS Selective Sort - computers make the decision, not a panel. I've also helped people who were victimized by corrupt insurers. Insurance is America's Largest Organized Criminal Enterprise.
So throwing health insurance entirely back to the industry that has wrecked it is a total mistake. The lack of a public option makes the Obama plan sulfurous.
