Personally, I don’t think his Social Security analogy holds water. The bottom line of Social Security from the get-go was that it was a PUBLIC retirement program.
The analogy with national healthcare is the “public option,” pure and simple.
Begala blew it.
The correct analogy would be, “What level of coverage will a public option offer to start with?”
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
