Let's talk about the public option, since that's what we're really talking about when we're talking about anything approaching government-run health-care.
1) If like the insurance you have, you can keep it. That's why it's called an
option.
2) If you would rather have the government plan, you must pay for it. It's not charity, and it's not free; but it's the best way I can see to make the big boys behave, and in my opinion, health-care reform without a strong public option is no reform at all.
Could it hurt the insurance companies ability to make profits? All I can say is that I'm every bit as worried about that as the insurance companies are about people with pre-existing conditions.
