Premiums are equal to Medicare premiums without subsidy,

based upon your income you get the current subsidies applied to that premium.

Obama care subsidies only apply to this public option.

That would place real competition on the cost of Obama care.

Leading to something like Medicare for all. When people use their free will to pay less.

What could be more of what Republicans try to say his conservative?
