President Obama joined the chorus of Democrats calling for the creation of a government run health insurance program as Obamacare is facing growing problems.
In an article published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the president called for Congress to revisit the "public option" for Obamacare in areas where few insurers offer coverage.
"Some parts of the country have struggled with limited insurance market competition for many years, which is one reason that, in the original debate over health reform, Congress considered and I supported including a Medicare-like public plan," Obama wrote in the piece.
A public option would mean a government run health insurance plan.

Golly gee, shazzam, shazzam, WHO saw THIS coming??!!
Will this be another Obamacare where they shove it down our throats?
As predicted by yours truly on these very threads several weeks back....
This is my shocked face
My idea of a “public option” would be a good caning once a week for those involved in setting up Obamacare until such time as they get rid of it.
Creeping socialism brought to us by socialist creeps.
“I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.”
Mark Levin was right. He’s going for the Full Mussolini between now and January.
The only shock is the timing right before the election. All but the dimmest bulbs among us understand ObaMaoCare, as currently constituted is FUBAR. We all knew it was designed to fail.
Sure, since the Feds have done such a great job with the Post Office and the VA, let give ‘em the Whole Enchilada to run.
Biggest ears on the planet and didn't hear a thing we said.
Rather, there should be an option for the public, i.e. a free market.
This was always the plan.
Nope, we will all just pay more because it will be like medicare or Medicaid.....so they will just add the bill to our payroll taxes
“Hello, I’m from the IRS, may I see your Government Healthcare Card, please!”
“The only shock is the timing right before the election.”
Not really. Don’t be surprised if the lame duck session of Congress after the election gives Obama “immigration reform”, gun restrictions, his Supreme Court justice, a carbon tax, and a single payer healthcare system. The GOP Congress teams up with the Dems to either suck up to Hillary as she is inaugurated or to diss Trump before he takes office.
I thought there already was such a thing for anyone below certain income levels signing up for Obamacare... they get free insurance, subsidized by someone.
“Will this be another Obamacare where they shove it down our throats?”
It will be like Colorado’s amendment 69, so yes. Given there has been nothing put forth by the health industry in Colorado, it will likely pass because everyone sees the writing on the wall for obamacare exchanges.
