Blanche Lincoln proves that opting out will not be easy

[ProSense]

Lincoln Still Opposes Public Option, But Won't Say How She'll Vote:

"If you have to opt in, then it takes a while to create that pool, that mass of people, so if states are opting in it takes a while for states to create that critical mass of people that brings down the cost," she said. "But opting out is a problem, too, because again you have to wait until legislatures meet and other things like that."

A Governor isn't going to just wave a magic wand and make it happen

While the anti-public option members of Congress are complaining, they still haven't offered a better plan.

1. Oh heaven forbid a state can't opt out in a New York minute.

Why is there all this concern about making sure people can remain NOT covered by insurance? Is she the new Olympia Snowe? Do we have to start kissing her butt now? No!!!!!!!! Filibuster with the Republicans, Blanche, and you will pay!

2. Yep, it's going to be a tough ask to take away something that works for people.
