BUT the gubment plans on creating a public option, which will not COMPETE, but will DRIVE private insurance out of business.

Another statistic most people don't know...........80% of all people are covered by NON profit insurance plans......the gubment talking about GREEDY, poorly run insurance companies is a LIE.

I don't see how it will drive private insurance companies out of business if it is suppossed to be as crappy as the picture being painted, such as long waits to get care, quality of care, death panels red tape.............. Who in their right mind would buy it even if it was cheap? See what I did there? Nice right?

Also if 80% of all people are covered by non profit plans then how exactacly would a goverment run plan put them out of business since it is non profit?

I don't think greed or believing insurance companies are poorly run is the problem most people have with them. It's more that they pick and choose who, when and how they cover you.

Guess we'll have to pick this up next Saturday (atleast I will since I agreed to mhall's no political talk for 5 days post) and I'm off to bed.
