It will be interesting to see how the government tries to retaliate.
Nationalize the hospitals, draft all the doctors into the military. Do it by presidential decree. Most people won't say a thing.
That's easy. Punishment shalt be additional taxes and expensive regulations.
The critters are so transparent. If they get their public "option" through the sausage grinder, the next step is to force everyone onto the "option" by making everything else too expensive.
Just look at what they did to Bank of America chairman Ken Lewis after he testified (under oath) that he had been threatened by them.
