Adding Honesty To WSJ's Henninger's Pathetic 'Public Option'
On June 18th, The Wall Street Journal's ("WSJ") Daniel Henninger wrote an article entitled
"'Public Option': Son of Medicaid" which either ignorantly or intentionally compared the public option for US health care against Medicaid. This comparison is disingenuous and is hardly a fair comparison to any model public plan given a number of specific aspects of Medicaid that would not be attributable to a broader public health option. Nonetheless, the WSJ's main purpose in the context of the health care discussion has generally been to preserve the profit margins of the bloated and inefficient private insurance industry at the expense of hard working Americans. The main way it seeks to do this is to distort and present a dishonest comparison which allows Henninger to drive support against a public option for health care.
