I was afraid of this.

I certainly wouldn't mind if the "public healthcare option" were regulated on a state level (that probably would be better as the federal government consists of people from different regions with different leanings and different interests for their own states and can therefore barely get squat done) as long as the federal government requires that every state have some sort of public option program, or at least a program for regulating private insurance companies. How the program is regulated would be up to the states, but no person should be left uninsured, regardless of income or pre-existing medical conditions. That's the main objective of this healthcare reform plan.
