This is why I'm all for a public option. No need for profits.
You do understand that people can't lose money and eat don't you?
Actually, you can. It simply depends on how much money you had before you began losing money. Either way it's a moot point inasfar as a public option is concerned. A public option won't have to worry about generating profits. So, there's an easy 20-30 percent reduction in healthcare costs. Even with spending the same amount we spent last year on health insurance and health care, we could realize practically instant savings if we went with a public option.
