Has Social Security been stopped? Has Medicaid been stopped? Has Medicare been stopped?
My question is one problem with private health insurance today is that each state has a separate Insurance Board that sets acceptable rates, coverage rules, and licenses companies to sell insurance in that state.
With the “Public Option,” is the Federal government going to abide by 50 separate State Insurance Boards’ rules? Methinks not, and yet again the Interstate Commerce Clause gets perverted even further.
Another good reason to control your states. Control them and you control the Feds. Each quarter, organize Town Hall meetings. If the politicians don’t show up, have them anyway and publicize the results. Allow people to have their say in a public forum. Do this in Cities and counties.

The “Public Option” is intended to kill off private health insurance. Read HR 3200. In other words, Barack Obama, the POTUS, is targeting for elimination an industry that directly employs an estimated 2 million individuals, whose companies comprise a large component of publicly traded issues that are contained in 401ks and other investment vehicles, and has the infrastructure in place to run health care reimbursement. This attempt by Obama to destroy and industry and take over about 16% of the US GDP is unprecedented, frightening, and enraging at the same time.
This issue is about total control of the populace at the most personal level. Obama and the leftist democrats are seeking a permanent, unassailable voting majority. It must be stopped at all costs.
