The Starr, Reich, Kuttner Debate on Health Care Reform

If these three cannot agree ... how can we expect Democrats in congress to sing from one score?

I tend to agree with Kuttner. The public option gets weaker with each day, increasingly more complex (and hard to understand or sell), and easier for insurance companies to game. We need to get some single payer skin in the game -- that could keep the public option honest.

I'm having to choose new insurance plans for Diane and myself in Maryland. I note they all have a "lifetime cap" -- so if either of us gets AML and needs a bone marrow transplant -- tough cookies. I'm not happy with my medical insurance options. I doubt any survey that says most people are.
