I imagine this is a typo, because it makes no sense...

It appears to me that the public option is not included primarily because not enough Democrats and one Independent (who caucuses with the Democrats) did not want it included.


Beardedbruce is blaming "the Democrats" for the fact that the Senate bill does not contain a public option, but he places no responsibility on the vast majority of those who oppose it, the overwhelming majority of whom are Republicans. You can't blame the party that is mostly supporting the public option and not acknowledge the responsibility of the party that is entirely opposing it. At least you can't be honest and do that.
