A public option that "competes" on a level playing field with private insurance is doomed to fail

[Better Believe It]

Period.

If public health insurance can't provide better coverage with lower premiums than private health insurance why in the world would any employer or private individual want it?

And if the "public option" in legislation restricts the ability of ALL employers and individuals to obtain private health insurance with better benefits at a lower cost what good would it be?
