A public option needs to control the market not compete with it. It is the only way the two other countries (Netherlands, Swiss) that allow private for profit insurance are able to control costs. It is the only way we will be able to control costs. Without massive cost controls this feeble attempt at reform will fail. There is no way we can have reform and our current for profit industry.
When insurance companies have this kind of stranglehold and you hand them more power expecting future incremental reform is a pipe dream.
