Richard Thaler on the public option

The Public Option isn't a Curse, or a Cure

Interesting perspective to keep in mind. It reminds me that I need to read up more on the public option, as it appears that I am not as "up" on it as I thought (I was under the impression that all of the federal employees would be put on the public plan, giving it a big initial pool . . . not sure where I got that.). And, of course, Nudge is a very fun read and highly recommended.
