New Option--Public option for everyone but Repubs


During the Bush years, when anti-science fervor was at its peak (or so I thought) I dreamed of a day when we could say to these ignoramuses, okay, you think that the Bible is the last word?  Then you are not allowed to take advantage of any invention or advance since that time.  You can eat roast goat, but you can't get it delivered by refrigerated truck to a grocery store.  You can't drive a car, use a lightbulb, get your water from a tap.  You can't use any modern medicine.

Now my dream seems within grasp.  Let's create a  single-payer, public insurance system that everyone EXCEPT Republicans  and their shills can use.  That's it.  I'm no longer for universal health care.  I'm for health care for everyone except anyone who stands in our way.  Go on record as against the public option (I'm talking to you, Landrieu) and you don't get to use any publicly funded medical services.  NOT ANY.  You don't get to go to a hospital that uses federal funds.   You don't get to use a doctor who took out student loans from the government.  You don't get to use any medications developed by scientists who took money from the government. 

Please make my dream come true.

Thanks. A friend of mine had another idea: she wants EITHER the same healthcare for everybody that the Congress has OR that Congress has the same healthcare the rest of us have. Obviously, she's a nicer person than I am.
