Speaker Nancy Pelosi (House Triumvir)

"A [health care] bill will not come out of the House without a public option."

- A "public option" = the option for all Americans to enter a government health plan.

**Democrats are drooling at the thought of having a health care plan for every American. Sadly, their reasoning has nothing to do with care or cost...It has to do with power; power which will tie the American people to their master's good will when it comes to their health.

That said, I'm glad to see the A.M.A has finally gotten off its ass and looks like it understands what is going to happen if the Democrats get their way.

“The A.M.A. does not believe that creating a public health insurance option for non-disabled individuals under age 65 is the best way to expand health insurance coverage and lower costs. The introduction of a new public plan threatens to restrict patient choice by driving out private insurers, which currently provide coverage for nearly 70 percent of Americans.” - American Medical Association

Sadly, it may be too late...Too late as in: This matter was sealed when the Democrats won control of both houses of Congress as well as the Presidency.**
