No health care bill should include a public option. The private sector can offer health care plans for those who do not currently have health care insurance. The government could supplement premiums as the individual's finances dictate.
A public option that is subsidized by tax dollars would slowly strangle private plans. The government would force medical providers to accept lower fees. This loss of fees would result in higher costs for private plans. As the price of private plans increases businesses would find it more cost effective to pay government fines for not providing health care than the cost of providing health care benefits. Eventually only the government option will survive.
Anyone who has ever dealt with a government option knows what a truly bad option it is. The government should not control health care. Every individual needs to control their own health care.
