If you do not opt for it, you are not taxed for it. I have much more to say on this issue, but for now I will leave it at that simplistic comment. Consider it my, "Put your money where your mouth is" mentality coming into play. I don't want it, so don't tax me, bro. I’m all for a Public Option, but ONLY under this ONE condition:

This is what I was talking about earlier in regard to obsessing over minor details of a bill in one committee. After senate finance reports - then the real sausage is made, and 4 of the 5 committees have more liberal versions than the senate finance committee. Interestingly though, all the house bills are cheaper than the senate bills, so, I think the like can be held on cost. How $$$ is raised to pay for the plan will be a major issue though. The Senate and House are miles apart here. Exactly right. This is what I was talking about earlier in regard to obsessing over minor details of a bill in one committee.
