    Are you aware that Obama and several others have said in the past (before he was elected), that the "public option" is intended to be the first step

    i don't care about that step, i care about this step. Should we ban cars because legislation could order every car to be a death-trap ?

    sans any existing dwindling market forces

    the legislation currently on the tables doesn't rule out free-market alternatives. It gives 1 more choice to you. I would suggest 2 extra additions to that law : 1/insurers shouldn't be able to be throw you off insurance. 2/the only things influencing the monthly fee for insurers should be things like tabacco- and alcohol-usage.
