Republicans don’t trust us Americans to make the right decision if we are given the option to choose to spend our money on a public health insurance option Vs private insurance. They claim that if given the choice the American people will choose the public option and this will lead to all sorts of evil such as rationing of health care and bureaucrats making life and death decisions.

This from the party who in regards to corporate & financial regulation and taxes on the rich and powerful, has said, “We trust the American people” to make the best decisions of what to do with their money. I suppose, in reality, the Republicans only trust the corporations, rich and powerful to make good decisions (such as tanking our economy). But when it comes to individual choice the Republicans just don’t trust us Americans.

To all the Republicans out there who don’t trust American individuals to make the right decision if given the public insurance option I ask that you trust us to make good decisions. What’s the worst that could happen? We choose public insurance and it doesn’t work out, then we have to change our minds and buy back into private insurance. What’s the best that could happen? We each save thousands a year on our health insurance.
