If often strikes me how some on this thread constantly talk about how bad and inefficient government is, and in the next breath say if there was a public option it would drive all the private insurers out of business.

There is no contradiction between those two points. Efficiency isn't the only criteria about who succeeds in a business competition. Subsidies or other forms of tilting the playing field can cause the less efficient provider to dominate.
