Despite Backing Major Parts Of A Broken Health Care System, They Are "Moderate"? In Politico's Case, Yes.

Sometimes that website has problems using adjectives correctly

Moderate Democrats have been warning their leaders for weeks against pushing proposals that undermine the private market, particularly a so-called public option that could dissuade consumers or businesses from purchasing private insurance. In a letter to their leaders last week, fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats said a public option should be created only if insurance market reforms and increased competition don’t lower costs on their own.

That second bolded stuff is for another manner at how inflexible conservative Democrats are like most Republicans.

But back to the "moderate" label. How in the world are these Democrats moderate if they don't have any support for a respectable public option as a possible answer to better an ineffective health care system overall in America? What is moderate about favoring insurance companies to basically do the same thing that they have continued to do all throughout, and that's think profits first, think profits second, and maybe, MAYBE, think care third?

Now I would not have a problem if Hackio's writers of this article said "centrist" Democrats, because that's what they really are, and always will be. But if Politico did that, would I ever call them Hackio ever again, or get on Roger Simon for every idiotic dribble he writes on there? I think not.
