The Public—Ho-Hum—Option
From the people who brought you SCHIP, now comes the “public option”!
The Democrats have wonked up again.
The lack of affordable and accessible health care is literally a matter of life and death, and this debate is about the public option. It’s no wonder they are losing the battle for the cold hearts and feeble minds of the American people.
Death Panel! Now, there’s something you can remember.
Going back to SCHIP, although the legislation passed, wouldn’t it have been a much easier sell if it had been called the Healthy Children Act of 2009? What legislator on either side would have wanted to go home as the person who voted against healthy babies?
Why not call the health care reform the Healthy Choices for America Act.
Or, how about this one: Medicare for All!
That’s something I can get behind.
For now, I have one message for the Democratic leadership: Wonk you!
