The public option is a sorry compromise from single payer but as everyone said, “Es mejor que nada.” Pues, nada is what we have now.
As long as American citizens continue to be wealth stripped by the health care industry, while OTHER nations have solved this problem, the United States of America will continue to slide to third world status.

Or maybe we should call it a tax cut, and the deficit hawks will not only support it, they be offended that anyone questions it.
