Bill O'Reilly backs the public option for health care.
O'REILLY: But you know, I want that, Ms. Owcharenko. I want that. I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don't like their health insurance, if it's too expensive, they can't afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks.Flee, flee for the end is nigh.

WTF?!?!?!?!
My thoughts exactly.
I had to read that three times and I'm still not sure I believe it.
Maybe he thought it said pubic option.
You must not watch The Factor or you would have heard him cover this. Bill has stated that his comments were cut short and they used this part to make their argument. Stop getting your news from second hand sources. If you want to know what Bill really thinks watch his show. He called these people liars for reporting this.
While this, "if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus," seems pretty clear on its face, his preceding sentence muddies the water a bit.
O'REILLY: "OK. So you didn't see, really, anything there that you can get excited about or the American people should pay attention to. The public option now is done. We've discussed this. It's not going to happen. But you say that this little marketplace that they're going to set up, whereby the federal government would subsidize some insurance for Americans, that is, in your opinion, a public option?"
It's not clear at this point how he's defining the term "public option" when he says he's that it's a plus for the folks.
In any event, I don't give a fig whether O'Reilly supports it or not. I wasn't citing his quote to make some argument in support of the public option. It was more of a "WTF" post.
I don't really want to know what Bill thinks. He's a lying hypocrite.
Well then he fits right in with the current administration and all the other politicians on the right and left.
