22. Hillary also speaks of a public plan option modeled on
Medicare that would compete with the private companies, although I do not see where she will limit the profits of private companies as Edwards has proposed. Is limiting the profits to private companies the main difference you see? They both have private and public components.

I can still envision a scenario where the better doctors opt to work for more profits under the private insurance companies and those who can afford to pay for the services not having any incentive to use or change the public system.
