Health Analyst Calls Public Option A “Ruse”
Michael Cannon, Director of Health Policy Studies at the CATO Institute blasted the public option Tuesday as a “ruse.”
“The President and his allies in Congress want to create a new government run option for people under 65, but it’s not a public option because the program will drive private insurers out of business, despite offering an inferior product,” said Cannon. “What they call a public option is not really an option. So it’s a ‘ruse.’” (0:42)
