Robert Reich just wrote an interesting analysis of BlueCross Anthem's rate increase of 39%. This is the best illustration possible for why we need a public option intervention into the health insurance "free market." The Democrats should be relentlessly pounding this story down everyone's throats until even the most lizard-brained among us can see the point.

Just imagine it: massive ad buys, a national campaign to educate the public about the need for health insurance reform. A William Jennings Bryan-inspired speech. Hell, BlueCross BlueShield has someone being crucified on their f-ing logo!
The Obama clan were simply the best campaigners the nation has ever seen. Turn the machine back on.
