Very nice revision of history there, sport.

The support for a public option has always been strong- among the public.

What has changed is that efforts to dismiss the public option as dead in the water have failed. That dog wouldn't hunt, as they used to say.

So your "comeback" story only makes sense in whatever passes for reality in Washington.

Albeit States can opt out.

What are the reasons for opting out?
The ability to opt out could possibly defeat the whole purpose of having the option. Some States will claim poor and call for help from US Govt in addition and anyway.
Triggers for Insurance are essential as well as for States who don't comply with the intentions of Congress!!!!

THIS Is the "Public Option" Already in Force By Extremists Within Federal Agencies and Commands:

COVERT USE OF MICROWAVE/LASER RADIATION 'DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPONS' ON U.S. CITIZENS...

...WHEN WILL TEAM OBAMA TAKE DOWN THE BUSH-CHENEY GESTAPO?

Thousands of unjustly targeted Americans are being damaged by the devastating physiological effects of being silently irradiated by microwave and laser radiation "directed energy weapons"...

...the weaponization of the electromagnetic spectrum, a silent "final solution" that may have the nation's political leadership in its ideological cross-hairs.

This technology is capable of altering moods, emotions, inducing fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, confusion, life-altering injury, disease and a slow-kill death.

And key elements of the Obama administration -- chief among them the defense/security/intel establishment -- are proliferating these technologies by various modalities, reported to include terrestrial and satellite electromagnetic microwave/laser emissions -- in one iteration, disguised as cell towers.

American citizens and families targeted by this covert torture matrix also are subject to financial sabotage that decimates their livelihoods and financial resources...

...and relentless "community stalking" -- harassment, surreptitious home entries and vandalism by government-enabled vigilantes affiliated with federally-funded community policing and anti-terrorism organizations.

Warrantless, covert placement of GPS tracking devices and misuse of cell phone technology to hunt down the unjustly targeted enables this grassroots terrorism.

But the Obama administration continues to allow these warrantless intrusions into the lives of unjustly targeted American families.

By its naivete -- its unquestioning rubber-stamp approval of the deployment of these destructive technologies and programs -- the Obama administration risks presiding over the destruction of democracy, the rule of law, and personal liberty.

PRESIDENT OBAMA, CONGRESS:

BAN the use of microwave/laser directed energy weapons on U.S. citizens or any human being as cruel and unusual and a crime against humanity.

BAN the warrantless tracking of individuals with GPS devices on cellphones -- the electronic backbone of an American Gestapo now operating on YOUR watch.

The bureaucratic saboteurs and Dr. Strangeloves behind these multi-agency crimes against humanity and the Constitution must be removed from power, immediately, before this silent genocide claims more victims -- endangering the Obama presidency while making a mockery of the rule of law.

Opting out will give "yellow dog" democrats from Louisiana & old Ben Nelson the cover to let the red states like South Carolina, Texas, etc have the chance to allow their uninsured citizen to continue uninsured. It's a pretty good ploy.Dems can say that no one was forced to join the feds insurance & if it works, the republicans can take the heat from their red states.It's a good diversion if you aren't uninsured.The red states like the so-called "states rights" so let'em have it.It will work. The question is: how is it paid for? That's where the heavy lifting starts.
