When Newt or any other...

...former or current government employee speaks to the media against a public health insurance option, why is that the reporter or interviewer NEVER confront them?

They never ask them what type of plan they have and whether or not it is subsidized fully or partially by public tax dollars.

1. You're onto something
The recent exchange that Grassley had during a town hall in Iowa revealed as much.

3. SHRED, I like your signature's "corporatist mantra"...
and can add to that the neoconservative's mantra...

"I've got mine...sucks to be you!"

That's pretty much their response to health-care for all, too, isn't it?

4. Thanks but...

...I found it somewhere.
It is a "mantra" I saw floating around the web with no author per se.
