Poignant Pelosi.

by GCTMT

A woman after my own heart

“Anyone who had any doubts about the need for such an option need only look at the behavior of the health insurance industry this week,” Pelosi said. “If you are going to mandate that people must buy insurance, why would you throw them into the lion’s den of the insurance industry without some leverage with a public option?”

She asks an excellent question.

Yes, she does ask an excellent question. The obvious answer is: don't mandate that people must buy insurance. That problem is solved. I could be Speaker of the House now, though I don't use botox.

But what if Botox was covered in the public option?

Could. Not. Resist.

^... I'm trying to "just imagine" what you are talking about.

Regardless, even if there isn't a mandate, without a public option it still leaves Americans with the private market as the only choice. And many of us are extremely uncomfortable with that and won't settle without atleast a strong public option.
