FTA, the bottom line on co-ops:

For the first time ever, I can honestly tell you that I agree with Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid. When asked about cooperatives, he simply stated that you can call it a cooperative or you can call it a government option, it doesn't matter because they are both the same. Guess what, for the first time ever, he was honest and right. Don't be fooled by the semantics being played by this President and Congressional Democrats today. They are attempting to create confusion to lessen the public pressure on themselves.

We Freepers have had it right from the beginning.

you don’t know how hard it was to write that I agreed with Hawwy Weed. We cannot allow the pressure to be let up on on these idiots in congress.

I'm sure quite a lot of Republicans will be using this as a way to attain "bipartisanship".

Questions I have about co-ops....what if a co-op fails? Will the govt allow it to fail and watch people go uninsured? Or will they take them over ala GM? What do we have if/when the government takes over the co-ops? Maybe a "public option"?
