“The Non-optional “Public Option” is how the government will control us further.”

I love how they claimed this will just be “competition” for private plans. Right. Even without the language that would force private plans out of existence after 5 years or so.... no one can “compete” with the government on anything. No private company has the power to steal from you and kill you while making it “legal”.

"I love how they claimed this will just be “competition” for private plans."

This is where it gets a little weird:

I've talked to two doctors about Obamacare and both of them said that they had received presentations from insurance companies about it.

Apparently, the insurance companies are supporting this plan, which seems puzzling -- until you realize that they would be insuring 30 Million new subscribers that they don't have now. Of course, we'd be paying for it all.

And according to both of these doctors, the Obamacare plan would only cover 65% of the costs and we'd be paying 35%.

So for someone like me, who currently only has a $5 co-pay on doctor visits, an a $25 on a hospitalization, the insurance companies would be saving a bundle.

Obmacare isn't just "socialized medicine", it's also "corporatized medicine", with the government as "the customer" -- not us!
