Someone else’s words

Going through things in my RSS reader this morning, I came across this from Citizen X:

It’s a good explanation of some of the rhetoric being used currently in the Health Care debate as well as a viewpoint of why the ‘Co-Ops’ now being proposed are going to be just as bad for private competition as a Government Option.
Definitely worth a read in my opinion.
His entire argument is undermined by his choice of example. TVA is a government backed monopoly. Co-ops would be government backed competition. There’s a large difference.
He should have stuck with Fanni and Freddy as those (pre-takeover) are a lot closer to what the co-op would be than the TVA.
