I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN SAY GOOD BY TO GOV RUN HEALTH CARE




WASHINGTON -- The Senate Finance Committee has voted against creating a new government health insurance plan to compete with the private market. The 15-to-8 vote could forecast the fate of the public option in the Senate as a whole. The outcome was expected but still a defeat for liberals who view government-sponsored insurance for the middle class as a key component of President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul.

Five committee Democrats, including Chairman Max Baucus, joined with all 10 committee Republicans to defeat the measure by Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia.

Opponents said a public option would drive private insurers out of business and amount to a government takeover. Proponents said it would give consumers choice and competition.

TweetThat was nice to see.

There is a small lineup of democrats that have grouped in wanting to investigate this president's almost 50 czars, and the whole Acorn disaster. They finally even see what's going on. Their party is being hi-jacked by radical communist, and the actual liberal democrat doesn't want that. So, some really good things are coming out of such a fuked up presidency.
