  • Obama calls for 'public option'

    President Obama calls for Congress to consider implementing a Medicare-like public plan in areas with few Obamacare insurers.



    President Obama joined the chorus of Democrats calling for the creation of a government run health insurance program as Obamacare is facing growing problems.
    In an article published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the president called for Congress to revisit the "public option" for Obamacare in areas where few insurers offer coverage.
    "Some parts of the country have struggled with limited insurance market competition for many years, which is one reason that, in the original debate over health reform, Congress considered and I supported including a Medicare-like public plan," Obama wrote in the piece.

    It isn't going away, so instead of letting individuals get fucked so hard, why not adjust the system to slide us some lube?

    Grandstanding is really easy when it isn't your money on the line.

      Well of course. Single-payer was the idea all along, DUH. Instead of increasing taxes to increase revenue, they'll just give themselves a new revenue stream to redistribute.

      Not that they won't also increase taxes, but you get the idea.
      When the government pays, the government controls.

        I think it was designed to fail from the beginning in order to meet their end goal of single payer.

              Obama said that before he was elected.
