O'Goebbels - git 'er fuzzy


Bill O'Reilly Pets a Kitty, Puts the Seat Down, and Backs Public Option
"I want, not personally for me, but for working Americans, to have an option, that if they don't like their health insurance, if it's too expensive, they can't afford it - if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks."

Double whammie from Der Softie !! - emotionally satisfying, and he's right !!! What the fuck ??

"...Indeed, supporters of the public option do so for the very reasons O'Reilly notes. A study by the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund found that 'a public coverage program similar to Medicare would reduce projected health care costs by about $2 trillion over 11 years, and reduce premiums by about 20% on average. Within about a decade, 105 million people would be enrolled in the public plan, and about 107 million would have private insurance, according to the Commonwealth Fund.'"

O'shit, this makes me uneasy... and how long before a seemingly inevitable clarification ?
