There's parsing, and then there's pointing out the reality. We are currently paying for the uninsured. I don't like paying for other people now. It makes my health care more expensive.

We won't be continuing to pay for them, if they can buy their own basic plans, if they are not dropped by their insurance company for reaching dollar limits, if the insurance companies (see what just happened in California) can't just get rid of alot of their more expensive insured on a whim to make more profit.

Nearly 80%? Geesh, just do a search on "public option poll" - you'll get tons of hits and articles. It's specifically "do you want a public option", however, note that (different than the numbers Dell posted, which are accurate for "health reform")

Well, I know in California, and probably other states, hospitals go belly up or stop trauma care totally because the state won't pay for it. Is the state to blame because it wouldn't cover expenses either way for trauma wards?
