Sorry, I meant Dr. Fox!
Mr. Fox,
Do you see a significant difference between the public plans being considered by the Senate Finance Committee and the nonprofit insurers already in existence?

Is Schumer's proposal any different from a Blue Cross, Kaiser, or other nonprofit plan?
What people clamor for is:
a) a NEW! health insurer to compete with the other 100s of insurers, or
b) single-payer to make insurance simpler, more efficient, safer, universal and nonprofit.
Schumer's public plan is a public sop, crafted to quell the clamor for single-payer health care in order to preserve the profiteering on illness that we call health care.
