Public option does not equal better care.
Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams? Heart Surgery in the U.S. Triggers Debate on Healthcare in Canada | Dark Daily
Danny Williams decision caused negative reactions among the press and commentators in the United States and Canada. After all, why would a senior elected official from Newfoundland decide to leave Canada, which has national health insurance, and seek care in the U.S., where the Congress is debating the merits of a national health insurance plan? It was disclosed that Williams underwent a major heart procedure on Thursday, February 4, at an undisclosed hospital in Florida.
Critics point out that Williams choice to undergo his surgery in a U.S. hospital contrasts dramatically against the poor care that hundreds of breast cancer patients received in Newfoundland in earlier years. It was October 2005, when the Canadian public became aware of inaccuracies in breast cancer testing performed by the pathology laboratory that serves the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Public option does not create competition it would kill it. Who can compete with a company that can lose billions (that's millions with a "b") and go on deficit spending for years? A public option would stiffle inovation by squeezing reasearch funds.
See with links and facts I don't have to ask hyperbolic questions like "why do some Democrats want to kill Americans with a public option like the Canadian system does? (see link)
