The public option is the one major difference between the Democratic bill and the Republican bill (besides the fact that the Republican bill would only cover 1/18th the population of the Democratic bill). The concept of the public option opens up competition. Right now, the health care industry likes not having competition bigger then an ogylopoly. To much competition would mean, their CEO's and upper level executives can't make salaries and benefits in the tens of millions a year. They'd have to accept a more realistic paycheck. So they are willing to spend big bucks to desceive you, the customer and citizen of the public option.

Right now , health care companies do not have to worry about the anti-trust laws like railroads do. The ten biggest health care companies could get together, and collude, in regards to you. Yes, YOU. They could decide to jack your rates up based on the following criteria:

A) If you live where they say you should live.
B) You buy the products and services, they say, you should buy, and how often.
C) Your vote, goes to their canidate for office. Whether its local, state, or federal.

Thats right, they can do this....RIGHT NOW....if they wanted to. Good luck, proving that they are doing it right now. My guess is, no judge would hear this case, and rack it up to conspiracy theories. A public option would help fight this concept, without having to create working anti-trust laws for the health care industry.
