NOT the Public Option Anymore!

[Mr. Bill]

Wow,

Queen Nancy has re-termed the public option to the "Consumer Option". Well, okay then.

She also states that it will not be taxpayer-funded.

What???

It's also called "health care reform" but has nothing to do with HEALTH or CARE. It is INSURANCE TAKE OVER.

Yep, saw that and thought it was down and dirty but then I thought that the AHIP crowd has all the madison ave power in the world at their disposal so if they cant play this game better than pelosi, the hell with 'em.

I would just come out and start calling the private option the "Affordable Consumer Choice Option."

Does Pelosi have some trademark or government registered name that we have to worry about infringing upon? I dont think so.

How bout we just start calling her plan PelosiCare so as to bring the magic of her personna to the government plan.

Love the no-taxpayer funds piece.

How can it not be taxpayer funded and be a public option?

 

[Crabcake Johnny]

Easy; funded only by premiums.

 

[TXINSURANCE]

I believe there will be an initial public funding.

 

[Crabcake Johnny]

Are we all assuming we won't be compensated for selling the public option?

 

[AgentOrange]

They did the same thing when Global Warming got changed to Climate Change ... what's in a name?

 

[djs]

Well, what a dilemna now...
Many progressive senators have said they will not vote for it if it doesn't include a public option. I guess, if they stick to their word, a consumer option is not a public option, so therefore, they won't vote for it???? Or is it 'just words'?

I'm not sure where the house count is currently, not sure anyone knows. But the senate count isn't great for a public option right now. We'll see how the arm twisting goes in the next few weeks.

I heard she is renaming the health insurance companies plans the "stick it to you option."

A rose by any other name...
