But it would include the “public option” that would compete with private insurers. At this point, I haven’t found any statistically-factual information on whether a public option would cripple private insurers, only personal opinions of some, including executives in that industry. If anyone has read anything of the sort, don’t hesitate to send it my way while I’m still looking.</blockquote>
