The New National Health Insurance Plan | Max Baucus Debacle Version

Regarding the new Max Baucus "clusternuts" Health care bill. Or as Wendell Potter correctly called it The "Insurance Industry Profit Protection Act". You know, the bill that HAD to be "bi-partisan", so the Democrats neutered it into a Insurance company give-away and kissed Republican butts throughout the whole process to find out(AHA!) that no Republican is interested in it anyway.
Well, Atrios has come up with an idea for this contraption that's so crazy it just might work.

Instead of a fine, perhaps the government could just sign you up to... oh, I don't know what we should call it... a public plan? And then send you a bill.
