Socialized Medicine is Coming

Senate Majority Leader Harry "Surrender Monkey" Reid announced today that the healthcare bill headed to the Senate floor for a vote includes a public option, with an opt-out for individual states. Note that,if the opt-out is being done at the state level, that means that the un-Constitutional barrier which prevents insurance companies from competing in different states is being left in place. Since no private insurance company will be able to compete with the public option, it won't be long before the "public option" is all that's left--and it won't be optional for long after that.
