That would be the people who hate the idea that the government will use the power of the state to force people to buy insurance from Aetna, United Health, or some either company run by a golden diaper CEO. If there are mandates without a public option, then this is exactly what would happen. Many freedom loving people find this idea quite offensive which is one reason why many progressives feel strongly about the public option. Somehow the Post could not find anyone to represent this view.
On the other hand it did give an extraordinary amount of space to people in the Obama administration who wanted to trash their progressive critics while hiding under a shield of anonymity. That's very bad reporting.
A real newspaper would report this by saying that "several members of the Obama administration made harsh comments about progressive critics, but refused to go on record with their statements."
