So why can't we have public option health insurance... ? [View all]

We have it in every aspect of our lives...
Private schools and public schools,
Public Army and Private army's
Private security and public police,
Private funded and public funded projects,
Private Hospitals and public Hospitals,
Public roads and Private roads...

Health care is the only public entities that does not do this...

A public option is just that... an option... you can opt out of it if you want to and can still have private insurance, but we should have a public option... when we can't afford to pay private insurance...

It makes no sense not to have it.
