nate silver over at the happy stats blog fivethirtyeight breaks down the basics on the necessity of a public health insurance option and why the only reasons to oppose it are ideological.I'm a big believer in the profit motive in 99 percent of all cases. If the government decided to open a non-profit hamburger stand, I doubt that it would compete

I just don't understand how these guys can say that America has the best healthcare system in the world and keep a straight face! Or how they can say that a government health insurance plan would cause people to be refused for certain procedures. Oh, what, you mean, unlike NOW, when for-profit health insurances deny coverage for unapproved procedures? I guess these jackasses who are against a government funded insurance program have much better private health insurance that all of the rest of us, because last time I checked, it doesn't matter what your doctor says you need to do or take, it all comes down to what your insurance will approve. There is no freedom of choice now.
