Interesting. You are saying that people would still have alternatives. The rhetoric that I have been hearing is that the plan will eliminate choice all together.
In terms of the public option being for the "little people", their current option is being without insurance and I am sure most people would be against giving them the best insurance possible when it is coming out of our pockets. The only reason I think that some plan has to be instituted to cover the uninsured would be that they already get medical treatment on our dime. This is possibly a way for that cost to be over all less.
