The public option, in scored forms, won't do this. Not when it only covers segments of the population that are unprofitable to cover conventionally. There are other measures in the bill that will do some of that, but wether or not there is a public option is pretty meaningless to all but the 10 million on it in a decade.

Im not for all or nothing. All is the complete socilization of all health care facilities and elimination of insurance (with doctors being on salary). I am for a centrist compromise to allow delivery privitization and insurance socialization (Medicare for All). Its a centrist middle-ground in the debate, if this debate was at all sane. It isn't.

People will continue to die in this pro-private insurance reform. This is the reform you are shilling for. Pro-private, pro-death, pro-bankruptcy, pro-indentured servitude. Its sad the lengths you are going to win an internet debate game.
