The misconception that a lot of you have about people who are not in favor of a public option is that they don’t want reform. Personally, I think that there NEEDS to be reform. It’s just a matter of what kind. Put insurance under federal regulation and allow the companies to compete across state lines, thereby driving down the costs? Absolutely. Mandate that insurers are prohibited from denying coverage based upon pre-existing conditions? Without question.

The Democrats have gotten too ambitious with this reform. Instead of making some smaller bills which would receive far less scrutiny and opposition they wanted to push it all through in one shot. It’s going to come back and bite them because either they compromise too much for the far left to be happy or they placate the far left and likely screw up the whole system.

Joe Lieberman is fellating the health insurance industry when a little boy opens the door and screams, “What are you doing, Senator Lieberman?!?” Lieberman wipes his mouth and says, “Isn’t it obvious, Timmy? I SUCK!”

P.S.: I read this in the university library and now everyone’s staring at me because I’m laughing so much. I hope you’re happy.
