We are against a "Public Option" in a health care bill. We are satisfied with our current private health care (Medicare + company-paid retiree PPO supplement). A Public plan will, sooner or later, be directly or indirectly subsidized by taxpayers. It will thus cost less than private plans. Even though it will provide for fewer choices and less urgent care than a private plan, it will draw vcustomers because of its lower costs, thereby undercutting private plans. Private plans will have to charge more to cover their fixed costs, and thus become less and less competitive. Eventually, private plans will fall by the wayside, and we will be left with an inefficient public plan only. The Gov has failed at containing costs and funding Medicare and Social Security, so what makes them think that they can run a health insurance plan?
