Paul Krugman Admits Public Plan is Incremental Step Towards Single Payer

it would be cheaper
and crap

Liberal hacks are funny...they are always lying to someone!

Yep, you got it right. Krugman wants the government to control the economy, education, health care... just about everything it can get its hands on.

Mr Krugman is a brilliant man but it is hard to take him seriously as an objective economist. Rather than crafting an economic view and letting it influence his politics it's obvious that he start with his political views and makes his economic stance fit it.

smokers, obese, people who don't get their vaccines, who don't exercise, all pay the same rates as people who have healthy habits in the single payer and employer based system, which makes both systems unfair,inefficient and costly!
a tax credit system is the FIX.

Socialized medicine makes me horny. Free Viagra for all!!!

Hey SGB, you should be happy I left in Krugman's arguments in favor of single payer. I don't think my title is an unfair characterization of his statement at all. He is trying to convince single payer advocates that the public plan is worthy of their support. He isn't the first prominent Democrat to admit this either. Do you want me to steer you to some others?

no, he didn't say it is an incremental step towards single payer
"Krugman admits" is just a joke ...
