Reply #4: I've been saying for weeks now that we will get a "Public Option"...

[Junkdrawer]

That it will lead to a short increase in the bill's acceptance...

And that, when everyone sees that it's meaningless because either:

1.) It doesn't kick in until 2013

2.) Most will be prohibited from buying it

3.) By law, the rates aren't that much better


There will be an uproar. But, hey, a short term boost is all a politician can ask for.
