I am foreigner who graduated from and work in this country. I am surprised that there are no public option in this country, and medical expense is one of the leading cause of bankruptcy in this country.
Meanwhile, insurance company and lawyers collected a huge portion of profit from health care plan and mal-practice insurance.
I support a public option. I also agree that health care insurance should not be a profitable business.

Again, you are wrong. Individuals who file bankruptcy over medical expenses, do so out of choice.. You dont see hospitals or insurance companies filing claims and then sheriff selling individuals homes.
Great idea! Lets get so many e-mails to him that his e-mail spindle crashes!
Yeah, fantastic idea. Lets show him how many lazy americans are out there that dont want to be responsible for themself and need/want the government to babysit their lives. I guess it would mean a lot more if these individuals actually lived in his region..
Only if all govt workers are forced into buying into the public plan. The tax money saved by eliminating the overly generous (and highly subsidized) health insurance policies these groups get could be put towards providing a policy for those without insurance, and save some of the Medicare cuts to needy seniors.
