The public option as proposed was direct socialized medicine. Lieberman took what I consider to be a principled stand on direct socialized medicine, saying he opposed the public option “because it still creates a whole new federal government entitlement program, for which taxpayers will eventually be on the line.” In that he was correct. The public option was, in essence, single-payer socialized medicine -- the Left's preferred option and goal all along.

What we got instead is indirect socialized medicine. Six of one, half-dozen of the other. Those responsible for this are BO and both houses of a Democrat-controlled Congress.

I was just looking back over Rahm Emmanuel's book: The plan
and the thread from 2009 and saw your posted links. Interesting to see them again after all these years:

(The first two posts were from RC, from a 2007 and 2005 articles) Rahms book said they couldn't see having a single payer option immediately because it was such a large task. However, they did say it was important for employers to stop offering coverage and to instead implement it through the ‘health care system’.

The man to ‘thank’ for ObamaCare is Obama.
