Don’t fall for this head fake!

It makes little or no real difference if this provision is in the bill.

The “public option” is imposed via other elements of the bill, which take effect in the event of ANY CHANGE in your insurance terms.

Also, it can easily be imposed as an attachment to any other legislation that comes along.

INDEED.

The Globalists have been IGNORING THE CONSTITUTION FOR DECADES.

What’s a mere “law.”

“What is going on here is nothing more than politics. The President knows very well that you aren’t going to have healthcare reform without a public option. But he also knows that he has to get this out of the Senate.”

So, what Howard Dean, former Chairman of the DNC (and in that capacity, one of the chief architects of the Obama presidency) is telling us is that the recent comments coming out of the White House, that it is prepared to take the public option off the table is nothing more than a trojan horse. He knows he has the votes in the House, and he knows he can squeak it through the Senate so long as the public option is off the table. But he also knows that once the sanitized version passes the Senate, he no longer needs to overcome a filibuster, which means that the reconciled bill between the House and Senate bills (which will likely end up with something that resembles the House version and will certainly contain a public option) will only need a simple majority in the Senate.

He will play nice for the cameras and for the moderates in the Senate, but in the end, those public option soldiers will come spilling out of that horse.
