What is the Public Option?  This is where the Government takes over your choice of health insurance and the benefits that you qualify for.  It would also give the Government control over the Health Care system.

 

 

Many regular Americans have cried out in opposition to the Government run system.  They have been called everything from extremist to people who are misinformed.  The  American people have had enough.

 

 

Over 85% of people are happy with their private insurance.  They don't want to be told what to do, who to see and what is covered and what is not.  They don't want to have Government officials involved with end of care choices.  It is hard enough when a parent or spouse has to make very tough decisions, but at least today these are your options.

 

 

With all of this said, some reform in our current system would be beneficial.  Extended COBRA options, guarantee issue of both group and individual coverage, waiver of pre-x for those who stay covered from job to job, etc.  There is room for improvement in our current system.
