Come on meson answer this question. You are claiming that Fox lied about tax payer money covering this option so if they are telling lies then tell us where is the money coming from?

meson cant answer the question.. they found another left wing "news story" claiming Fox lied, and just like other typical liberals, they rushed off to repeat "the lie" without thinking about the fact that its not a lie.

Its always humorous to see a website claim others are lying, and to prove the lie existed, they need to lie..

Where do private insurance companies get their money from? Could it be premiums?

In reality, the public option would be available, as one option among many other private options, to people shopping in the health insurance exchange. Any of those 30-or-so million consumers could buy into it. And with the exception of the fact that it will be a). not for profit, and b). accountable to the government (as opposed to to shareholders), the public option will have to behave exactly like a private insurance company--financed and stabilized by consumer premiums, without any subsidy from the federal government.

The Fox quote is
"The reason that the public option is so controversial is, it's a government-run health option. So if you can't get health care anywhere else, this is the idea, that you could get it from this government-offered plan, which of course would be paid for by the taxpayers."

This is indeed true. The latest bill has some 17+/- new taxes covering everything from medical supplies, to increased taxes on hospitals. Where is the lie?

You will only be fed lies on Fox News. If you want to learn the facts, don't watch Fox News. The talking points that Fox News feeds you will make you look like an ignorant fool when you use them!

The Public Option is to be paid for by premiums. The lower premiums will be more affordable because it will be non-profit. There, you actually learned something today.
