What's this about a healthcare co-op...? |
|
Kelly O'Donnell on MSNBC just said that the public option is "waning" and that a "co-op", which is not a government program, is beginning to take shape.
WTF? Anyone else hear this?

The reality is co-ops will be too small to have an impact on rising costs. I currently belong to a co-op. It costs the same as "Big Box" Insurance.

6. Baucus committee does not speak for the Congress. Wait until Conference. |

Co-ops can't prove the savings and don't deserve federal infusion if can't cover additional people.

10. yeah, i heard on CNN this morning - much to my shock - that the public option is effectively dead, |
|
now it's "co-ops" instead of the PO.
in other words, we are continued to be screwed.
