Not that you care, but the current health care system is on a path of self destruction. This isn't the nebulous "the sky is falling" kind of rhetoric you hear about social security going broke, this is a serious problem of systemic dysfunction. If the private system isn't fixed, the only available health care insurance will be from your government employer, because that is the only buyer that will be able to afford the premiums.
So, you can get behind a public option today, or have one shoved upon you in 7-10 years. (that is, if you can land a government job or a wife w/ a government job)
