Are "tax dollars" different than insurance dollars? Our insurance dollars are paying to treat poor people, or as some call them, "generational welfare experts and bums". These insurance dollars, known as premiums, are going up because the people that can afford insurance are paying for those who cannot. They will continue to rise until there are not enough people able to afford them to keep the system solvent. More people will die, more will be sick, and the insurance companies will profit. There is no independent healthcare. You either can afford it, or you can't. How does an "option", as in public option, get interpreted as taking anyones right to pay insurance companies exorbiant premiums away. If you don't want to buy government insurance, don't. I would like the freedom of an option.
This bill is another solution looking for a problem.
