If there is none, please explain how you know better than the experts and professionals who are trying to put this together now. Please explain your perfect public option that adds 40 million people to a system, centraizes it and then manages to increase service and cut costs... Details. I want details of this perfect dream you've imagined for yourself.

Go watch Obama's early september speech again. There's a difference between the concept of a public option, and what was actually being pushed.

As for the rest of your post, besides the "death panels" mention (and forgot to mention REAL issues like huge deficits, the reality of rationing service, legitimate alternatives instead of government centered "options", etc.) you refused to answer my question and did exactly what I asked you NOT to do, which is retreat to broad generalizations.

I gave clear reasons why people voted the way they did. How many people who voted in that poll do you belive sat down and read the bill? How many people who voted gets their news from the internet or main stream media? People base their opinions on legislation through the filter of members of congress talking about it to media.
