U.S. Rep. Dave Obey remains a firm supporter of providing a “public option” as part of national health care reform, despite talk by the White House and some in Congress of backing off toward a compromise involving insurance cooperatives.
…”called cooperatives a “fuzzy” concept.”
Good for Rep. Obey. He’s right: cooperatives are a very fuzzy concept and are bound to be more expensive and less effective than the public option.
It’s a shame he didn’t see this in the Wisconsin State Journal. It might not be so fuzzy.
