Public Option Healthcare

[Dan Moadus]

Is the fact that the so called "public option" is like Medicare supposed to reassure us?
Not when it is commonly accepted that Medicare is headed for insolvency.

Don't Want a Public Plan? Well, What Do You Think of Medicare?

Opponents of health-care reform should be chanting "No more Medicare!" The arguments that have been made against the public option (a health insurance plan sold and administered by the federal government) apply with equal or greater force to Medicare.
