The media is dishonest to the core

[Uzybone]

if a company has employees on an insurance plan, and decides to drop its employees because the public plan is better and cheaper for the company, how is that the government forcing a new plan on people? Why not "blame" the company for dropping its employees? Am I getting this wrong? It is as if the media was speaking directly for insurance companies.

1. Now they're on the side of the (insurance) workers...

Then again, they always take the side of the workers, right?

2. And Obama is being dishonest

when he says everyone will have a choice because of this illogical insanity. This is a talking point that was posted a couple of days ago and is absolutely the craziest thing I've heard yet.

3. what do you mean?

if you are dropped from your employer plan (or drop it yourself), you have the choice for the public plan.

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say and the OP you linked too is rightwing drivel.

4. I was referring to the drivel

Adding the other talking points they're putting out there that matches what you posted. Not only are they saying that if a company chooses the public option, the employee loses their choice - they'are also saying that you can't believe Obama's "rhetoric on choice" because of what these hypothetical companies might choose to do.

I'm adding it because of just how insane they have gotten.

5. Ahh, thanks....makes sense now

Sometimes I feel we live in alternate realities when the media discusses an issue.
