In the midst of all the yelling and clawing, did we all just get hoodwinked?
this whole time the republicans and the right wing machine picked the fight against the public option and the democrats and the left rolled up their sleeves ready to fight.
And meanwhile the individual mandate slides by right underneath our noses. The cynic in me (which is growing) is tempted to think that the public option fight was just for show, and the establishments real challenge was trying to get the individual mandate by the sheeple.
As the native american chief once said "let's talk turkey"

I think you're right on target about that. The individual mandate is what the insurance companies hoped to get out of the bill. And Obama flip-flopped on this point and now favors the individual mandate, which is nothing more than the legalized robbery of all American citizens to increase the health insurance companies' revenue stream.
