Can one imagine how many of this states uninsured will get any possibility of having a public option with an "OPT OUT" plan? Our state will OPT out immediately. Joe Wilson and Jim De Mint will be thrilled. They do not represent the will of their constituents. Currently, the medical care that the state administers is bare minimal with no dental care, even for those at risk for death from infection, in such people with weakened immune systems, diabetics, and those who are able to buy dental insurance and not able to pay the co-payments on dental insurance. Fat chance of us having any meaningful chance of bettering health care for our citizens Mr. Reid. Living in South Carolina is difficult enough without a reasonable governor.

Apparently, he meant he would cheerfully compromise our future healthcare system to get any Republican support at all, even one lousy vote.
