I am about as against a public option for health care as can be. The only thing worse would be a full-blown single-payer system like they have in Canada, England, and elsewhere.
A friend of mine, who has a relative living in England, says the NHS is wonderful and works great. Yeah. Then I come across this:
3,000 NHS staff get private care
The National Health Service has spent £1.5m paying for hundreds of its staff to have private health treatment so they can leapfrog their own waiting lists.
The service is so bad that the people who provide it aren’t willing to use it. Wonderful.
