I love this post, my health insurance blog from a health broker has been screaming this forever. We are doing a piece for CNN and will certainly throw a link up to this post on our site right now.
The fact is though that first the costs must be controlled, otherwise what is the point of a public option? The only other option if we cannot control costs is of course to regulate the whole enchilada and let the government control it like Medicare. I would strongly recommend just expanding Medicare instead, as there are some excellent benefits on these plans and they are extremely affordable in comparison to individual.
This plan is indeed nonsense, it has been proven time and again that the only way to reform health care is to socialize it. Sure that is also very dangerous. More dangerous? Not make it socialized.
