| Dean: Public option a must for health care reform |
| 2009-08-18 |
 Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean is arguing that there can be no meaningful overhaul of the health care system without a public option for coverage. A leading player in the party's liberal wing, Dean said in a nationally broadcast interview Monday he thinks providing a government role in insurance coverage is fair. He likened it to Medicare and the Veterans Administration, which he called "two very good programs." |

| #5 He likened it to Medicare and the Veterans Administration, which he called "two very good programs." Clueless. I would support modifications to Medicare, VA health & the Indian Health Service, but that's not what this whole brouhaha has been about, never was. |

| #4 Saw a great quote the other day concerning a tv channel who changed their schedule back to a popular selection: "We took away what you had so that we could give you what you want." |

| #3 Extortion funded and then bureaucratically rationed. Who gains power from this? Only one entity, the state! What power do they gain? The control of life and death! |

| #2 FYI....Dr Dean isn't a veteran, so his assessment of the VA is not from the patient's viewpoint. I'm sure he finds the Indian Health Service exemplary, too. |
