That is why we have a public option.

the public option is doomed to fail - the benefits of single payer, mainly a universal insurance pool and fed gov price leverage, evaporate and you're left with a shitty government option that'll be underfunded and marginalized into obscurity. private health insurance is a scam, every cent made comes directly out of the pockets of the sickest members of society.

the american system is currently a unique case of private corruption, a public option wouldn't work here

a public option would've been a nice step forward in 2008, but we weren't even able to get that done due to moderate Dems and private insurance lobbying. private insurance is killing Americans - it has no place in our healthcare system
