And by the way, the "public option" is a cosmetic compromise to a fatally flawed handout to Big Health. Anyone who has actually studied the issue, isn't cashing in on the current system, and doesn't have a political axe to grind knows that HR 676 -- Rep. Conyers' single-payer bill -- is by far the most socially fair and effective, fiscally responsible, economically efficient plan developed so far. We just need to keep nagging Congress to get the Congressional Budget Office to score it and cost it out for everyone to see.

But what do I know? I'm just a guy who doesn't like being bled dry by what amounts to a legal, politically connected extorsion racket.
