I was afraid of this.

This is actually not a bad idea.

There's no talk about how to control the base costs, though, and that's really the fundamental problem. The reason the industry is so precarious, and the reason why some people won't be covered, is because the cost of doing business is greatly inflated.

I'd actually almost support a public option if I had any confidence that it would break the hegemony instead of supplanting it.

If we don't have one, there's no chance of that at all really... but if we do, there is. Of course public healthcare isn't perfect, but it's far, far better than having Wall Street expectations decide who gets coverage and who doesn't...
