>> It isn't a fair characterization.

Even though the "public option" and the "Medicare buy-in" have been removed, the subsidized health care is still there and when you boil it down, it is just another form of public option -- and one we're likely to get stuck with.

This is all the same to most people -- government health care. And while a lot of people DO favor it, it is only because most people are sickeningly ignorant of the downside associated with it. When they understand the facts, frankly, nobody in their right mind wants it.
