You'll recall that Senator Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota, said recently that he opposes the public option in health care reform (i.e., have a federal government health plan that would compete with private insurers, forcing them to actually give us quality coverage at a reasonable price). Howard Dean says Conrad is making a big mistake, and falling right into the insurance industry's hands.
Interesting that Kent Conrad, like Mary Landrieu, has no such problem with the federal government making sure that he and his staff get excellent health coverage and great rates (and you'd better believe that Blue Cross would never tell Senator Conrad that he hit his annual limit on prescription drugs). Conrad is just like all the politicians on the Hill. He wants to make sure that you don't get what he's got, otherwise what's the point in being king?
Feel free to ask the king why he and his staff are still sucking at the federal health care teat while denying us the same privilege:
