Z, > Your premium gets too high? Join the public plan. Insurance company limits your choice of doctors/tests/drugs? Join the public plan.

Who pays for the public plan? Obama is going to tax private health insurance, the uninsured who chooses to be that way, and anyone else he thinks can "afford" higher taxes.

That's not keeping the private companies "honest." That's turning single-payer health care into a self-fulfilling prophesy.

> Of course there is.

The prevention is going to cost more than what is being "prevented." It's been pointed out many times.

The issue here is quality of health care, not cost savings. Preventative care is and should be a part of any health insurance plan. But it's foolish to associate that with cutting costs. The only way you can cut costs is by rationing, which is what every industrialized country with universal health care has to do.
