3. The public option
does not HAVE networks - think Social Security. The network in Social Security is anywhere you happen to be and just about any doctor you want to see - even without referrals. The damned insurance companies would have to wise up very quickly on the network issue if there were a public option plan available. Public option solves many or most problems, but does not come close to single payer. Anyway, it's the only thing that would keep the ins companies honest if they want to stay in business.
