Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted October 26, 2009 States will be given the option of 'opting out' of the plan If an opt-out plan can pass, he said, he hopes states would not be able to exercise the opt-out for at least two years. Otherwise, Nelson said, the powerful insurance lobby "will convince state legislatures to opt out at the very beginning," before a public option plan has had a chance to prove its worth. yay and boo. WTF??? No opting out should be allowed. States that opt out do not care about their residents. Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 That is just stupid. There should be no opt-out option. That would only work against the foundation of a public option. What if states opted out of medicare? Old people wouldn't retire and spend their money in those states, thats for certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
