The public option: tastes like water!


Ezra Klein has a must-read post that succinctly describes the current state of the public option, as well as how it got to be the watered-down non-factor that it is.

Did you know that even if it passes and is implemented, it will only even be available to 10% of Americans--and that it would draw all its revenue from customer fees, and not the public coffers? A pretty far cry from a government takeover of the health insurance industry, and yet that is what the opposition's rhetoric would have you believe.
