Masterful!In his visit to today's Morning Joe, Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) made the single most effective case for a true public option -- leaving wingnutty Scarborough blabbering like an idiot.
Weiner immediately cut to the chase, offered a stunningly simple yet elegant policy alternative, made the political and economic case for it, and gave the enemies of reform no day light.
Beautiful!
Part 1: Insurance Companies charge 30% overhead yet provide not one single health service. Medicare's overhead is just 4% and seniors love it!
Part 2: "Insurance companies take a piece of the action on every transaction between you and your doctor. Why? The director of Medicare makes $150K; the director of my insurance company makes $4 million. Why?"
BTW: What exactly is Mika Brzezinski's role on Morning Joe?
More Anthony Weiner:
"Leaving private insurance companies the job of controlling costs of health care is like making a pyromaniac the fire chief."

I too wonder what Mika's role is. And why she seems to sit so damn close to Joe.
