Dana Said:

Are The People Who Oppose A Public Option Either Blind To The Data Or Naively Selfish?

jimmy i understand how you feel because ive been there. but essie and rorschach give you a clue what its about. i believe that the people who speak more rationally about the issue are afraid of losing money or dont believe in a win win scenario. if the uninsured win they lose. this however is a very complicated system . ive sold health insurance i am far from understanding this. i do know that just because i dont understand something i can appreciate something that works. . we spend more than every industrialized democracy . its not even close and they cover all their people. what rorschach isnt getting is that by having a public option or single payer system he will have more money left over to pay his mortgage. i look at like a smorgasbord, its cheaper to pay one price and being able to get whatever you or your friend needs. i personally dont think its a debate . its the moral thing to do. this is inherently american. our founders didnt tell the neighbor go build your own barn , they all chipped in to help everyone.

When will Americans in general stop thinking in terms of left vs. right? Or even Democrat vs. Republican?

Not any time soon. People ARE lazy. Much easier to think in terms of us & them.
