I understand all of the reasoning behind your post. I do not necessarily disagree with all of it. However, where you see this (I think) as government increasing their control on our lives, I see it as the only option being seriously considered at this point. While not the best option out there, at least it is an option, and in my view, a betterment to the system we have now. As for who can compete with tax dollars, UPS and Fedex have been for years. I see this as a way to get affordable coverage to many families that are paying out the nose for sub-par health insurance. If they can have a government option that offers the same coverage as they have now, or more, for less than they pay now, I think every effort needs to be made to make it happen.

Thank you for the compliment. When I read what you wrote yesterday, I knew that I needed to post my points in the easiest way to read and cover everything I could think of. lol
I think it's a very hard issue to resolve and I will agree that the Republicans haven't done a very good job either. I think and hope that because it's come this far, emotionally, we will go with more transparency in quality, price and competition and see if we can fix that before turning it over to the Government.
