Feel free to quote me, but please do not restate my intent casting your interpretation of it in a restatement of what I said.
Just like the oil industry and any energy related issues, the pharmaceutical incestuous relationship with our representatives is flagrant.
And of course we the people permit it....hence we get what we deserve....nothing.

So why would a Public Health Option not be protecting "we the people" from an unscrupulous health insurance industry in the same manner? I only see the difference as being that one affects one's wallet directly, while the other doesn't concern you. Would you favor health reform if it limited the percentage or total amount of profit one of the oligarch insurance company can make off an individual or group policy, or even the percent of return that can be given to stockholders?
That's exactly the effect that trustbusting had a century ago.
