It’s a shocking thing that a good public option from a budgetary point of view will mean a more progressive bill that trims more profits from the private insurance corporations. But the so-called ‘moderate’ ‘centrist’ ‘Blue Dog’ Democrats who pretend to be budget hawks are against the good public option. It’s obvious that they are concern-trolling the cost of the health care reforms. Their solution is worse for the deficit. No one honest argues otherwise. Therefore, the ‘moderates’ are caught with a conundrum. To protect the private insurance corporations they have to oppose the ‘robust’ public options being proposed by progressives. They have to oppose the real budget saving legislation in favor of crap that won’t save shit. That they lie about this is just an indication of how addicted they are to corporate campaign contributions.
