Public Option debate -- PTS

There are many issues in the healthcare debate, but none more controversial than the so-called "public option". A link to Paul Samuelson's article in WAPO is here, where he explains the issue.  For an even more in-depth article by a free lance economist, Morgen Richmond, go to here, and here, for parts one and two. Richmond lays the blame for the confusion about the public option squarely on the shoulders of the press for not explaining how Obama and others have been consciously and consistently misleading the public on the intent of this part of the plan for reforming healthcare.  It is a sordid story and highlights how corrupt the media has become, and how little it can be trusted to fairly explain issues because of its bias.


JDW adds:  These articles conclusively prove that this whole public option is, as advertised, a Trojan horse that the Democrats understand will lead them to their promised land, the single payer system.  This system is failing in both Great Britain and Canada.  Is there any reason why we should want it here in the US?
