Public Option double flip

The Obama administration is doing a double flip over the public option to the healthcare bill.
"We continue to support the public option that will help lower costs, give American consumers more choice, and keep private insurers honest."
Public polling, meanwhile, shows mass erosion of support for even greater government involvement in health care.
This week, 47 percent oppose the public plan, according to a new NBC poll, up 3 points from 44 percent last week.
Only 43 percent support the public option now, down 3 points from last week.

Government run healthcare is in a word, ludicrous, or better yet, asanine.... I'm just sayin...
