A government option would work like a Medicare proposal. It would compete with the insurers from a central point and the insurance would be the same in each state, because it is uniform.

Private Insurers would be unable to successfully compete with a subsidized, uniform, non-profit public option.

That would be the beginning of the end of private insurers and would pave the way to a single payer, Medicare for all plan.
