Alright then, how do you propose to fix the health insurance industry?
Because all you have done is say - do nothing. Because you, and the rest of the country cannot force the health insurance companies to change, we don't have the power, and they control something we cannot go without, how do you propose things get fixed?
You realize with less government, corporations end up having more power than they do already?

Oh so there'll be no limit on this free health-care? Sweet. Who's paying the doctors? Oh wait us, that's what I've been trying to say this whole time...

You realize that this country wastes 2 trillion dollars on health inscurance bullshit every year already. If we fix whats wrong and create competition, we might just end up saving money. AND we are already paying for the uninsured? If there are less uninsured, there would be less taxes to cover them and the need for their free clinics, etc.
And the do nothing and let market forces fix themselves approach.... yeah. Right, because that has gotten us a whole hella lot fixed.

For example, health care spending today consumes 30 percent more of state and local budgets than it did 20 years ago, forcing governments to choose between cutting services and raising taxes.

And 1/5 of our national economic output would be spent on health insurance.
You need to remember, this plan isn't just for a public option. Thats one important piece among many to fix things all together. Without it you just have a ton of legal jargon that lawyers for insurance companies will soon get around.
Now, I understand this is from the White House directly, but its pretty damn informative with not that much bullshit.

That is why the President has been clear that he will not sign a health care reform bill unless it is deficit neutral and on a stable trajectory as the decade ends.

Just read through it. I understand its obviously going to have some bias to try and get their objective achieved, but its a good place to start, without all the fear tactics. Things are laid out organized and for you to interpret. Remember, they don't have a bill completed yet that they will all approve, they are still asking for bipartisan support to complete it.
