3. I love this part...

"Many Democrats insist that there be a public option. Some say it would provide a test for whether Americans prefer a government-run system similar to what exists in Canada. But opponents say it would skew the playing field because government will always be able to undercut private insurers' prices."


So Republics say they oppose government provided health care because it would be cheaper. Nice of them to finally admit it.


On edit: this just brings up more depression era deja vu comparing this to when Wilkie campaigned against the Tennessee Valley Authority on the sole grounds that the TVA would provide electricity for less money than any private electric company ever could.
