Here’s a real eye-opener: “The History of the Public Option,” by Mark Schmitt, in the leftist American Prospect.
In it, author Schmitt briefly chronicles the history and strategy behind “the public option.” It was devised as a deliberate, explicit subterfuge that would draw unwary voters to support something that all the polls indicated they opposed: “single payer” nationalized health insurance. This strategy was then sold to the various Democratic presidential candidates way back during the primaries; John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama all bought into it.
Please direct others to this article. It confirms exactly what we have sensed all along: that “the public option” is a Trojan Horse effort to drag us into socialized medicine on the installment plan.
