1. Single payer was never on the table.

[rug]

9. I wonder who set the table.

[onehandle]

16. Obama. He said something about single payer before he was in the Senate.

Then never again. By the time he was sworn in, January of 2005, he was looking at the Presidency and single payer was not even an option.

Who were you thinking of?

[ProSense]

2. Jacob Hacker on a public option

3. Single-Payer now

4. LOL! Get over it.

You lost this argument long ago. Reminds me of the Japanies who refused to surrender after WWII was over.

[Oregone]

6. Yeah and the whole anti-war crowd needs to fuck off too and shut up

Policy discussion ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE!

Get on the bandwagon or go home.

[SIMPLYB1980]

12. Yes I think so, but that's

my opinion and right.

[Oregone]

13. Stifling dissent and discussion is everyone's right, yes

[SIMPLYB1980]

15. And yet you still get to post BS.

[rug]

8. I take it you never favored single payer. You remind me of a dog thankful for a bone.

[Oregone]

11. Or a lunatic thankful for a shit sandwhich

Yes, the glee in their tone is somewhat disturbing.

18. Another word for Australian pygmy ponies

[SIMPLYB1980]

Japanese not in dictionary. Want me to do some math for you it is my best subject. I've always had bad spelling.

[inna]

[unkachuck]

20. K&R

[jtrockville]

22. Single payer is the only solution that makes sense.

Unless the goal is to subsidize profit with public funds.

[asdjrocky]

24. I just want mine full flavored.

[eridani]

25. If you want to go incremental, letting anyone buy into Medicare is the only thng that will work

The only relevant piece of information about any public option is that nobody can get it until 2013. If you are going to piss around and take single payer off the table, at least DO SOMETHING that can take effect next year.
