Note I sent to my elected representatives today:
Dear xxxxxx,
NO GOVERNMENT OPTION.
No matter what it is called, government option, trigger, personal choice, opt out — NO GOVERNMENT OPTION.
Please vote NO on the health care bill package President Obama is trying to push on America. We can’t afford it and neither can the future generations.
My husband and I would like to see:
1. tort reform.
2. the ability to purchase insurance in any state.
3. the deductible (high or low) of our choice.
4. medical savings account.
Growing up in a low-income home, I do know that there are many options for people who cannot afford health care. There were then; there are now.
Thank you for reading this.
Cindy xxxxx

Ann Coulter: I’LL PASS ON “OPTING OUT”

I’LL PASS ON ‘OPTING OUT’
October 28, 2009
The Democrats’ all-new “opt out” idea for health care reform is the latest fig leaf for a total government takeover of the health care system.
Democrats tell us they’ve been trying to nationalize health care for 65 years, but the first anyone heard of the “opt out” provision was about a week ago. They keep changing the language so people can’t figure out what’s going on.
The most important fact about the “opt out” scheme allegedly allowing states to decline government health insurance is that a state can’t “opt out” of paying for it. All 50 states will pay for it. A state legislature can only opt out of allowing its own citizens to receive the benefits of a federal program they’re paying for.
It’s like a movie theater offering a “money back guarantee” and then explaining, you don’t get your money back, but you don’t have to stay and watch the movie if you don’t like it. That’s not what most people are thinking when they hear the words “opt out.” The term more likely to come to mind is “scam.”
While congressional Democrats act indignant that Republicans would intransigently oppose a national health care plan that now magnanimously allows states to “opt out,” other liberals are being cockily honest about the “opt out” scheme.
On The Huffington Post, the first sentence of the article on the opt-out plan is: “The public option lives.”
Andrew Sullivan gloats on his blog, “Imagine Republicans in state legislatures having to argue and posture against an affordable health insurance plan for the folks, as O’Reilly calls them, while evil liberals provide it elsewhere...”

...and another name..”Public Option.”
To be perfectly clear, NO PUBLIC OPTION.
