The Senate Finance Committee might ditch the joke "public option" for the wrong reasons, but it does need to ditched. FAIR did a great expose on the media blackout of single-payer. People who want the "public option" still probably think that this means a Medicare option, since the corporate media hasn't publicized the fact that now, it isn't. Single=payer is still what people want. I'm with Doug. The Senate Finance Committee might ditch the joke "public option" for the wrong reasons, but it does need to ditched.

That's what you do with turds, isn't it? Maybe with that piece of shit no longer on the table (apologies for the image that evokes), MoveOn and other "progressive" Obamacare pimps will be forced to take a stand on single payer, and will show which side they're really on. You don't give someone dying of thirst piss to drink. Maybe it's better than nothing, but this isn't anywhere near the best we can hope for, is it?
