Pass the Public Option with an "opt out" - and DARE the Republicans state-by-state...to turn down what will quickly become a very popular program. It's one thing to be "the party of no"
before insurance reform is passed. It's something else again to refuse, on principle, to participate after reform is the fact. Any Republican governor or state assembly person who refuses to let their constituents have access to government health insurance which most Americans enjoy will be severely punished for their righteousness.
"Opt-out" is much more than just a compromise to get more Democrats on board. It's the ultimate hammer on those who would "just say 'no'".
