Bill O'Reilly Endorses Public Option in Health Care Reform
September 17, 2009 at 04:04 pm
Bill O'Reilly, who used to call public option "socialism", now seem to have turned around and supported a government health insurance plan for the poor.
In an interview with Nina Owcharenko of Heritage Foundation, O'Reilly said he thought if government could provide cheaper insurance, it would be a plus for the folks. He said Americans should put ideology aside if the government can do a good job.
Here is a short transcript of the interview:
O’REILLY: The public option now is done. We discussed this, it’s not going to happen. But you say that this little marketplace that they’re going to set up, whereby the federal government would subsidize insurance for some Americans, that is, in your opinion, a public option?
OWCHARENKO: Well, it has massive new federal regulation. So you don’t necessarily need a public option if the federal government is going to control and regulate the type of health insurance that Americans can buy.
O’REILLY: But you know, I want that, Ms. Owcharenko. I want that. I want, not for personally for me, but for working Americans, to have a option, that if they don’t like their health insurance, if it’s too expensive, they can’t afford it, if the government can cobble together a cheaper insurance policy that gives the same benefits, I see that as a plus for the folks.

I'm sure you have enough things that mons posts to legitimately bitch about but I can't fathom posting billy's flip on the public option is one...
-
You guys misread and/or misinterpreted what he was saying as usual. He didnt say he was for the public option. He said he was for this new "marketplace" thing that the Democrats are cobbling together.
Bill Oreilly has always been far less conservative than you people think he is. He just doesnt want the federal government taking over people's lives. But like all other non conservatives and non libertarians, he doesnt understand the flipside of regulation, the flipside of subsidies, nor the flipside of "price gouging".

not quite the same thing there mons
perhaps you shouldnt get your shit from the dailykos ::)
-
^by the way listen to this retard ive seen many links to him in threads here^
he says that the majority of america is in favor of the public option which is not anywhere even close to true...

Sad part is that all Bill-O really is, is a lap dog for Murdoch.
He'll say and think whatever Murdoch wants him to.
A complete sell out.
Now all of a sudden Murdoch has decided that FoxNews isn't gonna fight the reform anymore.
So I doubt they will have much critical pieces on it in the coming weeks.
Instead foxnews viewers will be told that there is a 'conservative' type of public health care.
wonder if they will buy into it.
-
BOR is probably the worst IMHO in the whole lineup.
