public option

    Why does a "public option" equal a "government take-over"?

    Indeed, it would not be an option considering people would be taxed for it, regardless of use.

    Why does a "public option" equal a "government take-over"?

    Doesn't an "option" mean that you don't have to do it if you don't want to? Also, if the government "can't do anything right', then wouldn't the public option just "hang itself" in the end anyway? I don't see why it's not worth a shot.
