Why A Strong Public Option Is Essential – By jacksmith — Working Class
It’s not just because more than two thirds of the American people want a single payer health care system. And if they cant have a single payer system 77% of all Americans want a strong government-run public option on day one (86% of democrats, 75% of independents, and 72% republicans). Basically everyone.
It’s not just because according to a new AARP POLL: 86 percent of seniors want universal healthcare security for All, including 93% of Democrats, 87% of Independents, and 78% of Republicans. With 79% of seniors supporting creating a new strong Government-run public option plan, available immediately. Including 89% of Democrats, 80% of Independents, and 61% of Republicans, STUNNING!!
It’s not just because it will lower cost. Because a strong public option will dramatically lower cost for everyone. And dramatically improved the quality of care everyone receives in America and around the World. Rich, middle class, and poor a like.
It’s not just because it will save trillions of dollars and prevent the needless deaths of millions more of YOU, caused by a rush to profit by the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!
It’s not just because every expert in every field, including economist, and Nobel laureates all agree that free market based healthcare systems don’t work. Never have and never will. The US has the only truly free market based healthcare system in the World. And as you all know now, IT IS A DISASTER!
It’s not just because providing or denying medically necessary care for profit motivations is wrong. Because it is WRONG! It’s professionally, ethically, and morally REPUGNANT!, Animalistic, VILE and EVIL.
THE REASON THE PUBLIC OPTION IS ESSENTIAL:
The public option is ESSENTIAL because over 200 million of you are trapped in the forest of the wolves. Which is the forest of the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! With no way out except through needless inhumane suffering, and DEATH. While the wolves tear at your flesh, and rip you limb from lib. Then feast on your lifeless bodies like a dead carcase for transplant parts.
At the most vulnerable times of your lives (when you were sick and hurting), millions of you have had to fight and loose cruel, but heroic battles. Fighting against the big guns of the DISGRACEFUL, GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX! in the forest of the wolves. All because you have no place else to go. You have no other CHOICE!
But the PUBLIC OPTION will give you someplace safe to go. And it will give us someplace safe to take you. The public option will be your refugium (your refuge). Where the wolves cannot get at you when your down, hurting, and vulnerable. Where everyone who needs it can find rest, security, comfort and the care they need. Protected by the BIG GUNS of We The People Of The United States. THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE AND COUNTRY ON EARTH.
This is why it is so critical that we do not lead another 50 million vulnerable, uninsured Americans into the forest of the wolves, without the protections of a Strong Government-run public option. We The People Of The United States MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN to any more of our fellow Americans. If healthcare reform does not contain a strong public option on day one. YOU MUST! KILL IT. Or you will do far more harm than good. And millions more will die needlessly. Rich, middle class, and poor a like.
To those who would continue to obstruct good and true healthcare reform for the American people, and who seek to trap millions more vulnerable Americans in the forest of the wolves. We will continue to fight you. We are prepared to wage all out war against you, and will eagerly DESTROY! you. Time…is…UP! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! No Co-op’s! No Triggers!
Healthcare reform can be the GREATEST! Accomplishment of our time and century. A time when future generations may say of us, that we were all, AMERICAS GREATEST GENERATIONS.
BUT WE MUST ACT!
I therefore call on all my fellow Americans and the peoples of the World. To join us in this fight so that we may finish becoming the better America that we aspire to be for everyone.
SPREAD THE WORD!
I have been privileged to be witness as many of you fought, and struggled to take your first breath, and your last breath on this earth. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Life is precious.
Sorry but when I can’t get past the first paragraph without running into a blatant lie…
72% of Republicans want a strong public option? That number is far off from reality it’s really amazing. I mean, how is anyone supposed to take any statements you make after that at face value?
Wow, just did a little google searching. Congratulations jack! Googling “72% of republicans want a strong public option” brings up an article with a comment of yours attached (almost all verbatim the same comment) for every result except one on the first 2 pages of results. I’m guessing you google-bomb for viagra or something for your day job. It’s clear you have no interest in participating in a discussion or doing any sort of listening and just go around regurgitating the same post – so I’m sorry I wasted my time reading it.
Yeah, this got caught in my spam filter, and to be honest, I should have kept it there, since it certainly appears to be spam.
Well I’m convinced. I mean, from this video I learned that smart people and Obama supporters must be right, because the alternative is stupid crazy people.

Hey Zach, does your co-contirbutor even read your blog? Wasn’t it just a few posts ago you said, “I know I’ve talked a lot about the antics of the right when it comes to health care reform, and to be honest, this is what I’d like to see – a rational debate on the issue, rather than yelling, screaming, and name calling.”
What would you call that video but lies and name calling. “Stupid, crazy, dangerous, and stupid dangerous crazy people.” I guess I am all of these because I dare disagree or question what is in this plan or hold a differing political philosophy of limited government. Because I question how this plan will lower costs, if it will balloon the debt, or if quality will go down, I am labeled these things. But that’s right out of the old liberal playbook: anyone who disagrees must be an idiot.
You know, liberals said for 8 years that anyone who disagreed with the Bush administration was labeled unpatriotic and that they didn’t stop to get all the facts. How is that any different than now? Now the opposition is labeled stupid, crazy, and dangerous. Obama says the time for debate is over and we must rush through this plan, just like they had to rush the stimulus package. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
This video post is insulting to anyone who seeks an intelligent and rational debate.
forgot, what I post are my own thoughts and opinions, and I don’t expect everyone who contributes here to agree with me in lockstep, nor do I censor what folks post. If MadCityMan has a different opinion than I, then so be it; he’s certainly entitled to speak his mind.
Fair enough. I didn’t mean to imply or suggest that you should or do edit guest bloggers or comments. I was just pointing out that this post absolutely contradicted your recent call for rational debate.
I just found this post to be a new low to anything posted on this site, whether yours or not. It added nothing of value or insight to the debate, but for all I know that was MadCityMan’s point. That, or he happens to be in kindergarten.
forgot, I understood the point you were trying to make, and I appreciate your honesty regarding this post.
I think divergent points of view are a good thing, whether those points of view happen to come from conservatives or my fellow liberals.
Hey forgot,
Thanks for promoting me to kindergarten!
Not only is your screen name “forgot” but so is your prior request for “rational and intelligent debate” given this childish name calling.
I’ll remember next time not to offend your dainty sensibilities.
