AP: Pelosi: Health care 'public option' needs new name

Congressghoul Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) – A government-sponsored “public option” for health care lives, though it may be more attractive to skeptics if it goes by a different moniker, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday.

In an appearance at a Florida senior center, the Democratic leader referred to the so-called public option as “the consumer option.” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appeared by Pelosi’s side and used the term “competitive option.”

Now she just needs to rebrand the “private option” (i.e. insurance companies). She should probably get some ideas from Alan Grayson, but in the meantime, here’s a few to consider:

  2. Profit-Crazy Murdermen
  3. Evil Option

No one who pocketed $20 million for any movie, let alone Bewitched and Talladega Nights, has any room to talk about overpaid execs.
