Reply #16: The PNHP would actually welcome a REAL public option. But they are letting people know that what

[John Q. Citizen]

all to many try to pass off as a public option is really a joke.

For instance, I have read everything that ProSense posts and links to, but none of what she posts or links to does any analysis what so ever on the public option as it exists in the house or Senate bill.

She puts up rah rah cheer leading bullet points but never any in depth discussion of what the bills actually say and what they actually do in terms of creating a public option.

I strongly suggest everyone read what ProSense links to. I also strongly suggest that everyone read the actual analysis that's provided by PNHP and make up your own mind.

Also if anyone has any other in depth analysis of the public option as it currently exists in the house or senate bill, please post it and please feel free to PM me about it because I haven't seen any.

I've read the CBO reports (congressional budgeting office) and what they say agrees with what PNHP says in their analysis. It disagrees with the rosy Press releases that I've seen ProSense link to.
