Reply #5: Dean may push hard enough that the public option has to be included

[dflprincess]

I don't have a lot of faith that the currrent players (other than Dean) won't cave to the health insurance companies and take that option out.

I don't understand what's wrong with these supposedly bright people who can't see that continuing to line the pockets of these for-profit health insurance crooks makes no sense at all and that single payer is the only way to go. Especially as it seems more and more employers are dropping health insurance altogether or offering plans with such high deductibles that they're not much better than no insurance at all.
