Reply #8: PUBLIC OPTION too expensive? [View All]

[90-percent]

I was laid off last March. My COBRA payments are about $950 a month, before ARRA help. That is the exact cost my employer paid to keep me in good health insurance. I assume that my fellow employees cost about the same, but I don't really know?

With the Single Payer Plan, would my former employer's costs to keep employee's covered in health insurance then be $000.00, for employees that chose the Public Option?

In other words, wouldn't the Public Option be a literal GODSEND for all Companies that provide employees with good health insurance?

And if so, why aren't all small businesses going around promoting Public option (or single payer) like their businesses depended on it? Or like Rep. Anthony D. Weiner from Queens has been doing the last month. That guy has been everywhere really fighting for all this, unlike so many others in Congress that should be doing the same.
