Congressman Lord Boustany stated in his Republican response tonight:
"Replacing your family's current health care with government-run health care is not the answer."
Ya know, I almost feel bad for you, my Lord. Your ideological brain wrap is severely limiting your critical thinking skills. The public option would be a non-profit, unsubsidized (that means the federal government will NOT be covering its costs) insurance program that will directly compete with insurance companies game enough to compete for money of tens of millions of Americans who don't have health insurance through their job.
For the folks that have private health insurance, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, or TriCare, they will not have this option. Why? Because they'll already have health insurance. They won't need to sign up for the public health insurance program.
