wbmw, note my There isn't evidence to me that a public system would ration health care more inhumanely than the privates do. .. was only there as a reply to n48...'s .. Do you believe a public system will be able to ration care properly? Maybe
Yep, in your non-universal system the Public Option must be cheaper .. to hold costs down and also to be attractive to those less well off.
It's a real shame that it looks like a no universal healthcare USA is here for years to come.
