Bureaucrats in Congress can spin all they want about a public option “creating competition” but people who live and work in the real world know they’re full of it.

Seventy-two percent (72%) of voters nationwide say passage of the proposed health care plan could lead companies to drop private health insurance coverage for their employees. Forty-eight percent (48%) say it’s very likely.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 16% say it’s unlikely that employers would seek to save money by shifting their workers to a government health insurance “public” option. But only three percent (3%) say it’s not at all likely.

Of course, the goal all along has been to provide a head-fake interim step to nationalized health care. Anyone on the left who tells you differently is either lying or deluded (the two prerequisites for espousing the progressive side of any argument).

There is no such thing as real competition with a government entitlement entity that’s bound only by how much money Congress is willing to extort from the citizenry to keep it going.

The math that makes the fine cheaper than providing private insurance isn’t accidental. It’ll end up being rationalized as a sound business decision rather quickly by most companies. Then it’s full-speed ahead to Uncle Sam Care!

The administration has been successful in creating a boogeyman to scare lefties into the arms of a waiting government-run system:

But then 67% of Democrats fear private insurance companies more than the government when it comes to health care decisions.

I’m still not certain what decisions the government has ever made for these people that have worked out well. It must be something in the Kool-Aid water over there.

Months of nonstop campaigning, speeches and relentless focus (Afghanistan? What Afghanistan?) by President Obama haven’t achieved his goal of shoving this package of lies down the throats of the American public. Yes, his bobble-heads think it’s wonderful.

But everyone else is awake.
