re: #392 Dan G.

Seriously though, do you believe that just forcing others to pay for insurance will fix the problem (i.e. that some people cannot afford medical care)? How is subsidizing the health insurance of some, and forcing all to purchase health insurance, going to decrease the cost of medical care?

I think that a public option is bound to force the health insurance companies to lower the costs, yes. Granted, I agree that the law is not perfect, and that it should also tackle big problems in the health-providing and the pharmaceutical industries.
