Who do you trust? Public Option & Political Philosophy

Sojourners, the Christian non-denominational social justice & peace group, has published a toolkit for those interested in the healthcare debate.

The argument about 'the public option' boils down to an issue of trust: do you trust corporations or our nation's government more to act for the common good?

This is a purely political question, touching on general philosophy.

The connected moral question is whether or not those who trust corporations more can deny a public options to those who don't agree with them philosophically.
