President Obama, Senator Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are still adamant in their effort to pass a health care bill.  We have a novel idea, pass the bill but COVER only those who sign up for government sponsored health care in advance.  Whence passed, the signer upppers will be taxed based on their ability to pay.  The Health Care Accounting Board will determine the per person cost and send out a yearly bill. The bills will be retro active and be based on the individuals prior year tax return which will determine  the individuals ability to pay. Those who fall below the income threshold will not be billed.  THAT IS OUR PUBLIC OPTION.  This will solve the problem.  Will this happen? No way. We can bet you that in 2 or 3 years, the Government Health Care system will collapse as the payers will be sick and tired of paying for the those who signed up but can ill afford to pay.
