Gotta say, the clips of Obama's rhetoric on health care before and after the campaign is a cheap shot. He said he's an advocate for single-payer and HE STILL IS. But he's taken proper note that much of the country wets their pants at such a humane idea that he can't possibly push for it... yet. He balanced his position via the public option. Which IS optional, by the way. Sure, situations will exist that makes the public option more financially viable, but that doesn't twist anyone's arm. If the government does gradually take over health care it will solely be due to the will of the people.
Also, the idea that gov't run health care will somehow increase costs is pretty outlandish and poorly defended. Insurance companies are just middle men that act as gatekeepers for who gets treatment and who doesn't based solely on the profit motive. Their priority is to make money, undeniably. Hence the cost of care tripling in the past few years. It's a monopoly and only those companies are profiting while the American public gets sicker and sicker (with over 40,000 dying per year). This should be a goddamn crime. The sooner these companies fall the better off we'll all be. Step one: public option.
