9. Offering a public insurance OPTION
is NOT the same as a "government takeover" of health care in this country and it seems like that *should* be obvious to everybody. If people want to stick with their same crappy private insurance, I haven't heard anything proposed so far that's going to change THAT or force everybody to CHOOSE the public OPTION.
:banghead:

Now if the *poor* multimillion (billion?) dollar private health insurance industry can't compete with an OPTIONAL public insurance program, well, I guess that would mean that there is something horribly wrong with it. The only "choice" anybody has about health insurance right now is which corporation we want to have steal our money and deny us benefits as far as I'm concerned.
