Public Option's Path

Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag in his interview with Jake Tapper that aired on today's ABC Good Morning America. The loose-lipped Vice President Biden who could be called the soul of indiscretion had the truth slip out- the health reform plan will allow the government to "control" the insurance companies, not regulate, the Federal government and the various regulators in the fifty states already do that, but control. And that is the definition of socialism- when management is taken away from private business and turned over to government. Command economies, central planners, and their army of bureaucrats never made anything any better anywhere. But will this revelation by Biden- the truth coming out that free enterprise in health insurance will be choked out by the strong hand of government thwart the bill? And under this constraint private insurers cease to operate and there remains only one option- the public option. I doubt Biden's statement will even register with the House Democrats who intend to vote for it no matter what as they are power-mad robots in the grasp of their one master Obama and the evil cabal behind him.
