A simple equation that explains why a public option is a horrible idea.
Health care reform + public option = private insurance companies go out of business =
You are forced to buy government insurance = There is no way out of complete government control over your life and well being!
If you have paid attention to the news lately, you have probably realized that our government is very inefficient and wasteful. Do you really trust them to make your health care decisions? A public option may well only affect a small number of people immediately. However, once private insurance companies go bankrupt from the low cost government insurance, you will be forced into this socialist program. Do not let them force you into anything! Why do people not realize that the "option" will only be temporary? Once all of the private insurance companies go under, you will be left with only one option, Uncle Sam. Remember this "A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have."
