10. ever seriously wonder WHY THE FOR-PROFITS FEAR A *PUBLIC OPTION* ??? well, you can stop wondering:
The article is dated 11 March 2010. The NUMBERS in the opening paragraphs are NOT up-to-date (intentionally so?)... but the ensuing FACT is spot on!. Here's the relevant excerpt:

Since September 2008, the government has infused billions into an insurer that provides coverage for cars, homes and business assets. Once this insurer got government funding, it began slashing premiums for many of the insurance policies it sells. Its private-sector competitors have cried foul, but new customers keep signing up.
