Here here.

THIS would be a excellent stop gap measure when it comes to Health Care. Admittedly, I hate my current provider who upped my health care premiums at the beginning of the year (I pay twice what I did a year ago), not to mention increased my deductible and copay.

You know, I almost think the Democrats did this on purpose. The let the Republicans bitch and bitch and run out of fuel on the huge ugly God-forsaken Health bill and then dropped the Public Option from it (from what I can tell the only unanimously popular part of the bill) just so they could reintroduce the Public Option outside the Health Care reform bill so it has a better chance of passing.
