Once again,,,

The "opt out" option on the public option probably means that we'll likely have public option in all the states pretty soon.

So long as there are a critical mass of states that "opt in" in the first place to make the public option work, I find it impossible to believe that even the most diehard Republican governors will be able to long stand the calls from constituents who are watching their neighbors one state over save thousands.

Opt-out is a bit of trickery to allow the Ben Nelson's to say they didn't vote for a public option, even though, given time, they really did.
