Majority Leader Reid: 'We Will Have a Public Option'

Liberals have always taken the long view to government control. Most understand that getting Obamacare passed was just the first step. Now that they have control of the nation’s healthcare the real change can be brought about.

Speaking at the Netroots Nation conference in Las Vegas, Reid promised the left wing bloggers that “we will have a public option. Its just a matter of when.”

For those who think that the healthcare battle is over, this should be a wake up call. Until the most onerous portions of Obamacare are repealed, they will keep chipping away until they get what they really want–British style single payer government run healthcare.

This week, we’ve been reporting on the FDA’s attempt to de-label the drug Avastin for late stage breast cancer patients. This case provides valuable insights into how things are going to work.

With absolute control over every process, the government will be free to replace the judgments of patients and doctors with the whims of bureaucrats and government bean counters.
