So what? Nobody's claiming the public option (aka Medicare for whoever wants it) would be better than the best private plans. That's why it's an *option*. It's for people who can't afford or can't get access to adequate coverage under the private plans. The point is that it's pretty good, as measured by Medicare satisfaction rates, which are generally high. If you like your current plan, as Congressfolk usually do, keep it. No worries. Not too many Senators drive Honda Fits (Jazz, for our British friends), I suspect, but Honda still sells an awful lot of them. -Patrick _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
