Matt Whitlock on Twitter: "Incredible that Biden’s “public option” is now the “moderate choice” in this debate. That public option had to get stripped from Obamacare in the Senate because it was too radical. And it’s STILL too radical. #DemDebate https://t.co/ablwqc0Dzb"

  the public option would have increased competition with the private insurance policiess. It didn't pass because Lieberman bailed out, couldn't afford to buck his insurance donors in Connecticut

  BLAH,Blah, Blah Europe is doing well with this public option! They are now more advanced in the medical field then the USA. Americans are going to Europe, Canada, & Mexico for health care. The GOP is only worried about their $ from the insurance industry. #CorruptGOP

  Being too radical for Joe Lieberman is not a bad thing.

  You are absolutely wrong! The public option got stripped because of power of insurance companies and the fact that @JoeLieberman said you want my vote NO PUBLIC OPTION. He screwed us then and later when he toyed with @GOP https://publicintegrity.org/health/elimination-of-public-option-threw-consumers-to-the-insurance-wolves/ …

  “Option” is the key word here.
