re: #207 Dark_Falcon

The issue I have with the public option has little to do with costs. I’m quite willing to accept higheer costs to keep the government from running a health care plan that they can subsidize with tax dollars and run private insurers out of the market. I regard the public option as a stalking horse and oppose it for that reason.

It would not be subsidized. You would buy in with premiums the same way you do with private insurance. It would just be a larger pool.

But it’s moot because the dems are pussies and dropped it in the senate. On the bright side we may get expanded medicare.
