153. We needed to start with it a long time before now. |

For months, people demanding a public option, and making it the litmus test, have failed to understand that a public option just means an insurance plan run by the government.
The rest of what was attributed to it (like "everyone" "affordable" etc.) are the details I have been insisting be in any petition calling for a "public option" (or opposing any bill without one) before I would sign it.
The devil is in the details - which were lacking far too long while the rhetoric piled up.
