| 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 don't have much to say about this other than that it's good to see this being acknowledged by someone who generally holds Conservative values.
I say this, mind you, as someone who personally supports a single payer system. So I'm not applauding Mr. O'Reilly for agreeing with me (I very much doubt he's pro-single payer), but rather because he's seemingly willing to support a reasonable compromise that still leaves the citizens of our nation better off than they otherwise would be. |

While O'Reilly can be obnoxious and can go overboard, I do think that he has on a number of occasions, made some very good points. |
