Public Option Enemy No. 1

You've probably seen the ads. Ominous voice-overs warn you about how
health care reform "could put a bureaucrat in charge of your medical
decisions, not you." A massive bulldozer with "government-run insurance
plan" written on the side crushes your health care "choices." Canadians
and Britons relay horror stories of their experiences dealing with
health care in those nightmarish socialist dystopias.

The ads are the product of a multimillion-dollar ad campaign designed to
derail health care reform—especially what's been dubbed the "public
option," which would set up a government-run plan to compete with
private insurers. The man behind this ad blitz is the person who might
be Public Option Enemy No. 1: one-time hospital executive and longtime
Republican donor Richard Scott.

Back in March, Scott spent $5 million of his own money to set up a
nonprofit called Conservatives for Patients' Rights.

Skank, along with Richard Mellon Scaife and a host of others.

This is where I wish there were a Peter in heaven 'cause these
assholes would spend an eternity having their asses fried.
