Dear Senator Chuck (Disingenuous Moron) Grassley,
You say that if there is a public option, you estimate that 119 million people will opt for that, leaving only 50 million in private health care.

You cite that in a very twisted way to make your point. You say that the president promised that if one likes one's insurance, one can keep it. But if 119 million opt out, the private insurers will go belly up because they cannot survive with a mere 50 million suckers .... er ..... insureds. If they go out of business, then those who wanted them will be out of luck and 'forced' into the public plan.

Well, duh.

What does this say about the MAJORITY view of private insurance?

Good lord, but you're even more stupid than you sound. And make no mistake. You sound REALLY stupid.

1. If that many people want the public option, then the private insurers will
have to adapt in order to survive by offering better service at lower prices...that's capitalism at its best, and a Repuke should know this.
