The “Public Option” within Health Insurance Reform (aka Health Care Reform) has Intrade odds which have dropped from 50% (August) to 7.1% (Current)? Wow!

Wonder what the Intrade Odds are of the White House discontinuing the use of the phrase “jobs saved or created” now that the real unemployment rate is north of 16%?

I really detest her, but I wouldn't underestimate the power of Pelosi. She's certainly not above doling out billions in bribes.

A triggered plan does not qualify under this contract so 7% seems way too high. But I guess it's a better bet than many in Vegas.

At this point the media should be asking, "what exactly are we trying to do with this bill?" Along with, "does it accomplish any of those goals?" And finally, "in light of what it does accomplish, does the price tag seem reasonable?"
