#1 I fully expect the some form of public "option" to be in the "compromise" bill. They can probably find 50 votes for it in the Senate and the House has already demonstrated that they'll be no problem.

Don't be surprised if there's a waiver of the budget neutrality provision of the rules covering reconcilliation buried in this monstrosity somewhere. If not I'm sure a hack lefty economist will pop up to claim that socializing medicine will actually be cheaper than not.

#2 Oh they are already claiming its 'Revenue Neutral'. At least in '12 and '13. What they don't mention is that it will be only if they, in effect, rape Medicare and Medicaid of all their funding.

Yeah - right - I don't see that happening. But the promise will get the nose of a 'public option' under the tent and that is all the're need. In '12 and '13 the public would have forgotten the promise (with the help of the MSM) and would be grateful to the Donks for 'saving medicare!'.

#3 Public Option is an Oxymoron.

#5 Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is a POS socialist racist. She needs to be removed from office. Her and her husband are being investigated for fraud. His bank was given special preference and given bailout money(allegedly) illegally. google it.
