Opt Out Version of Public Option In Final Senate Bill
by

Okay... I am amazed that Harry Reid managed to not deliver the worst possible scenario at a big moment in history. Nevertheless, putting an opt-out option into the Senate bill is still one massive concession. Don't get me wrong, the opt-out plan is infinitely better than getting nothing, yet again, after nearly an entire year of work. The people in states with governors and state legislators that are so completely controlled by anti-reform interests are going to be second class citizens. They may be a bit lonely too, because a lot of people will be moving the moment their governor signs the bill that opts his state out of the public option.
