Another Democrat politician says 'public option' in health care

is just a step to single-payer, i.e. the government in total control of health care:
REP. ELLISON: Most of us are co-authors of HR676, which is a single-payer bill so we feel like we’ve already compromised. I think that the reality is the public option has been scored by the Congressional Budget Office as saving $150 billion, so this actually helps deal with the fiscal responsibility issues…It offers choice, which is a good thing…

ESKOLA: Isn’t the public option really just a step towards the single payer that you want so much?

REP. ELLISON: Yes but the reality is that for many people that’s not what it is
.
Which translates to "Lots of people don't realize that so we're trying to sneak it in that way."

Actually the CBO said it would cost an additional $290 billion the first year; but then dhimmis always lie, so nothing new here.
