I was just wondering. What is your take on the latest compromise in which each state can remove the public option through legislature or referendum if they so choose?

[BlueCollarCorner]

A nice play on states' rights, but its still there. The socialist progressives will bank on liberal governors to show precedent.

Ok, so is it that the public option is itself an option or is it that the public option is considered to default? In other words, would it change anything if it were worded in such a way that states could add the public option through legislature etc?

Enough of the circular reasoning..lol

Get the gov. out of healthcare...period. Take the "public" out of the equation, in any level of government.

Very nice straw man argument. We also want lower cost health insurance and we are against the monopoly profits that insurance companies make. And how are these large profits possible, through political favoritism and regulations enabling their monoplies, that's how.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, money from the govt is allocated by political favoritism not based on merit or efficiency or quality. Further govt involvement will only make health care even more expensive.

We do not want socialized medicine! Get rid of Social Security and Medicare--the government should not be helping its citizens! If you're too old to work or too poor to go to a hospital, then drop dead! We don't need you. This is America the land of the FREE and if we want a dog eat dog country, then we should have it and get what we deserve! Leave us alone! God Bless America!
