Statement without proof does not make it true.. What I have seen tends to disagree with your statement. That said, it is hard to really know what Medicare is costing the country on a per-person basis. The money transfer from your salary to fund Medicare is not broken out separately.[/quote]
I am not sure what is the reason for such hate of public option. Insurance company is a simple business, it takes premium money and pays it when needed. It doesn’t do anything magical or complicated.
The best insurance company for the consumer is the one with lowest overhead, lowest costs of capital and least profit. And the government wins handily in all 3 cases categories.
