Post a commentPaula, we have a public option. In fact, we have several. Medicaid is for the poor. Medicare is for the elderly. Social Security provides for the disabled. CHIP covers children who are uninsured. The "public option" might gain more support if supporters discussed supplementing and funding the public options now in place. For those of us in health care, when wild-eyed advocates cry for the public option to be implemented, we wonder how they can ignore how too many Medicaid clients close hospitals and cry for still more of the same?
Oren better be careful with what he says. That hate speech law also protects jews like himself.
@Spiegler: Hate crimes are mislabeled. It isn't about the physical crime, it's about the terrorism. As for strict and fast judicial system, those tend to make LOTS of mistakes---and with a death penalty those mistakes are permanent. Instead what we need is a justice system that focuses on education and reform of criminals since it is well known that prison, and even a death penalty, do not make effective crime deterrents.
