re: #686 Obdicut

To me, the public option isn’t ‘leftist’, but simply pragmatic. Health insurance is a naturally broken market, and relying on free-market solutions in a naturally broken market is never going to work. It only leads to hyper-regulation.

With due respect, you have illustrated why it is that liberals say that Obama is actually quite center-of-the-road. He’s not, it’s just that his leftist ideas seem “pragmatic”, not “leftist”, to a leftist.
