Paul Krugman, Democrat Strategist and NYT Columnist, describes Democracy Now! that Public Option plans will eventually kill private insurance, how it is a route to single payer and how single payer is actually the goal of the the Public Option Plan.

Ezra Klein: "I would like to sign the insurance companies out of existence with my pen. It would be sweet." ... "So the problem is, ...the reason these organizations have done what they have done and I think I can lay this out for them in ways they are not necessarily allowed to, is that, yeah, they have a sneaky strategy the point of which is to put in place something that overtime with the natural incentive in it's own market move it to single payer."

I'm not sure how much more clear these people can be. They're saying it explicitly, in their own words. The point of the HB 3200 in to put in place something that WILL become single payer. They want to put the insurance companies out of business and this is their strategem for doing just that.

How can I keep my private coverage if the company I buy it from has been driven out of business by the Federal Government??

Die Die inefficient private pre-exiting condition excluding trillion dollar boondoggle system DIE!!!

don't ever count those private insurance companies out.

they have tremendous money and power over the whole health care industry.

You can bet on that, just check your premiums as they go sky high.

Single payer system. Divide the total $ spent on healthcare by the number of Americans. That's EVERYBODY's premium. Simple enough?

Not viable...

Everone will not need the same from the system... Some will need more than the system can provide.

and some less... Given the inflated nature of the medical techology field more money will be drawn out than could be replaced... System would choke itself.

Less government first.

Government that works for us...
