Republican Senator John Barrasso argues that the public option would result in a government take over of healthcare. Senator Barrasso should have more faith in private health insurance providers. If government-run health care is so inferior, as Republicans claim, then why make the argument that a public option would threaten competition. It’s a ridiculous and vacant argument for Republicans to make.
Furthermore, Barrasso exclaimed, “We’re not even allowing the people of America to read the bill.” However, it’s Senator Barrasso’s responsibility to read the bill—it’s his job.
Senator Barrasso should be against the public option, because “the Wyoming senator has received a considerable amount of contributions from the health care industry: Over $500,000 from health professionals and nearly $100,000 from the pharmaceuticals and health products industry over his career and nearly $40,000 bundled from health care lobbyists in the last two years.”
