Health care opt out

I keep reading different accounts of the reform plans and questions people are asking. The latest scam to try to raise public approval is the opt out option for the public option.

The thinking goes people won't complain if they don't have to participate. The only problem is that you don't get to opt out of paying for this boondoggle.

So how stupid does the Democratic leadership think we their constituents are, evidently quite stupid. Because in effect they are asking us to pay for a product and receive nothing in return.

Here's a thought why doesn't congress stop trying to buy reelection with unconstitutional programs. Some people would say they are looking out for the public welfare. I would say if all they were interested in was the public good there would not be so much interest in polling data.
