You appear to be debating this point, not sure with whom.

It was actually part of the problem that I happen to have with a public health care plan. And no, that doesn't mean I oppose it before you and IFF jump all over me again, but if a private and public plan are to exist side by side, there needs to be some kind of competition. The government subsidizing costs does not create competition.

We already covered this so I'm not interested in rehashing it.
Again, you repeat that you are against health care being too expensive.
That's close to your original argument, which was that Obama was lying about new taxes and scheming to get a public option introduced.

Oh, so you're only interested in rehashing it if it serves as something you can attack me with?
From the start now.
1. I do not think that fining someone to force them into a health care program is beneficial for the competition side of the equation especially if a private plan still exists. It COULD lead to out of control costs similar to what Medicare is dealing with right now.
2. I do not think that subsidizing private health care without trying to reduce costs
FIRST is very smart.
3. I do still support a public option. In fact, I happen to think the two-tier system is the best kind of health care system in the world. But it HAS to be implemented under the right circumstances.
Clear enough? Or is there something else you and IFF want to nitpick at?
