There is nothing moderate about opposing the public option, not in a nation where the members of Congress get public insurance and Medicare has been well established for nearing half a century. Centrists support a public option. Progressives support Single Payer. The Right opposes any government role in Health Care Insurance. I suppose you could call Olympia Snowe Center-Right for hinting at a possible role for a Public Option in the future, with her trigger to nowhere proposal. Maybe. But Snowe and her extremely small band of conservative compromisers are clustered together someplace huddling at the extreme right bank of the American mainstream. Opponents of the Public Option fall outside of the American mainstream. Just thought we should clear that up.
