biased poll.....
i don't think premiums will go up, thats the whole point of the public option and i think it is going to work....most ins. co. have a virtual monopoly and if they don't, they are in collusion with other ins. co.....
break it up like ma bell....unfortunately, the government chose to use a public option route....which will route the ins. co.....prices are going to go down

how many do you need?....isn't I don't support it if it costs me more the same thing as I only support it if it costs me less or equal?.....

but that doesn't answer the question....do you support if if it doesn't.....incidentally, did you notice that the premium cap on the public option released today from the House is 125% of premiums charged by private companies, unless that is insufficient to cover losses in which case, premiums can be raised?.....

How 'bout, "I don't support it, unless it also lowers all tax burdens and is coupled with plans to lower actual costs by ending State Monopolies?"
Or maybe, "I wouldn't support it unless it was the only compromise that would allow the break up of state cartels..."
or any other with the starting point of "don't support" except and unless certain conditions are met.

because what I am trying to test is a simple question.....do people still support the public option if it's going to cost them money......either in premiums or taxes....

I would only support ending the state requirement if it were coupled with aggressive federal health insurance regulation. Otherwise, it would mean that all insurance companies would shut down in every state and just go to Delaware and sell from there.
And none of the options fit because I don't believe in the all or nothing approach. It's possible that the other side could give me enough incentive by giving me other things I find even more important to get me to vote for even a "public option"...
I doubt they would, the bill would have to look almost entirely different, but I wouldn't say I wouldn't support it under "any circumstances'...

/shrugs....which is a different issue....
I speculate that the majority of folks who are clamoring for health care reform assume that once it passes the government is going to give them free health care.....I wonder if they would say the same if their costs remained exactly the same or went up.....
perhaps a direct approach.....if the government proposed spending $1trillion dollars to reform health care and your premiums did not change, would you want the bill to pass?.......

from what I see in the new proposal, not even considering the tax costs, I also would be paying more for less coverage....depending on what they do with my kids, maybe considerably more....right now they each pay $93 to be part of my plan
