…comes from Sen. Pete Conrad, who claims there aren’t enough Dem votes for a public option to pass:
A system of federally-chartered co-ops that could offer a non-profit alternative to the for-profit insurance industry. In this telling, the co-ops preserve the central feature of the public plan — they’re a competitor to the traditional insurance industry — but are free from the baggage of government control.
Except, as radio host Thom Hartmann correctly points out, it won’t work. Nonprofits won’t have the clout of the government.
