A robust public option saves money so, naturally, deficit-averse “centrist” Democrats don’t like the idea. And, naturally, the press never seems to point that out.
I've hit this point before, and even though it's the sort of thing the press does all the time (or in this case doesn't), I'm still a bit curious why. Are they just so enamored with any self-described centrist deficit hawk, too stupid to understand the policy, or what?
