Ben Nelson puts his finger on exactly what’s wrong with a public healthcare plan:
Nelson’s problem, he told CQ, is that the public plan would be too attractive and would hurt the private insurance plans. “At the end of the day, the public plan wins the game,” Nelson said. Including a public option in a health plan, he said, was a “deal breaker.”
Gosh yes, that would be a disaster! Thank goodness we have dedicated public servants like Nelson to protect us from such horrors.
And by “us”, of course I mean the insurance industry.
