    Because the government is technically run by the public. As opposed to the Bu$h's corporations.

    Yeah, considering the public has been VERY vocal about NOT wanting Obamacare & the fact that eventually will no longer be an option but a neccessity, "public option" is not the term that should be used.

    Public option should not be called "government monopoly insurance" either. Insurance is when you pay small premiums to protect yourself against potentially devastating risk. Public option is merely new 20% regressive income tax on middle class designed for redistribution of wealth.

    Everything in this bill is written in Orwellian terms, dude.
