Sen. Lieberman against 'public option'? He's on Medicare too.

Just one problem with that, the senator is ALREADY on a "government-run plan".
It's called "Medicare".
An un-rationed plan that, somehow, we manage to pay for.
And, so far, there has been no "government takeover" of America's health care.

If you are fortunate enough to be covered by Medicare you know that the government does not provide your health care. You still choose your doctors and other health care providers. The government simply keeps up with the necessary data/paperwork and administers the payments. And at a much lower overhead and cost than insurance companies do. See, the government doesn't pay CEOs millions of dollars annually, or have to pay for corporate jets and massive television commercial campaigns.

Works for me.

1. VA all the way

I am fortunate enough to be covered completely by government Veterans Administration, and for the last 43 years since nam. Works for me.

Congress is spending $2.8 Billion to lay in bed with health lobbyists, and tell us how unworthy you taxpayers are to have the same free coverage I have. Ain't America a great place to be from.

2. One thing for sure--Lieberman is not using the VA

He was too good to join the US Military.
