Reply #62: Thank you. I've been annoyed with Dean ever since he sent out an email calling for signatures...

[ContinentalOp]

for a petition that sounded like it was for single payer but really was just in support of the same "public option" that was already under discussion in Congress.

I think these are the key points that show what he's trying to do:

"...What Obama's plan essentially does is give you the choice of whether you want to be in a single-payer or private insurance plan..."

"Dean also said that single-payer is pretty tough to differentiate from the public option.

"Public option is like single payer. It gives consumers the choice..."

Either is is shockingly misinformed or he's a flat out lier.
