Reply #6: What infinite people?

It works for all senior citizens. Why don't you think it would work for those who want to opt into it? All they have to do is increase a few taxes. Most people I know would gladly pay more taxes for a choice of a public plan of comprehensive health care if they could get out from under the plans they have now which cost them a lot more than an increase in taxes would. I am talking public option here not single payer. If they want to throw away more money for private insurance, let them.

This is how it would work. I don't like the plan I have at work, so I would prefer to take that money and buy into the public option plan preferably modeled after Medicare. See, it's simple.
