What good will a public option health insurance plan be if states can opt out? Wont most states do just that?

If this is passed will it just be a feel good measure?
--------------------
All the details about opting out have not been announced yet. But it looks like the program will run for a year before states get to opt out. By that time, voters should know whether they like the program or not. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/… In addition: The CBO says the proposed Public Option will reduce the deficit. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=2… Unless you make over a million a year, your taxes will not be raised by the Public Option. The new bill, like an earlier version, retains a surtax on high-income people, but increases the thresholds. The tax would hit married couples with adjusted gross incomes exceeding $1 million a year and individuals over $500,000 — just three-tenths of 1 percent of all households, Democrats said. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/29/health…
