The debate has returned: public option or not. It’s driving me nuts. Why are they debating the route when they have yet to agree on the destination? What is it each side wishes to achieve or avoid with a public option? If they can’t agree on that – on the destination – they will never agree on how to get there. They will never even agree to disagree on the virtues or short-comings of a public option.
