Public option gives Americans choice of insurance in the business of helping people, or in the business of making money

Why are so many people opposed to the public option, popularly termed by its detractors as "Obamacare"? It would give Amercians, for the first time in history, an oppurtunity to get quality care from an institution which does not look for loopholes and time-sinks to make as much money as possible. One complaint of Republicans is that it would drive private insurance out of business. If the public option is so evil, why would people choose it in the first place? Also, Republican Congresspeople say that government cannot run health care well. If that is the case, why do they permit government to run THEIR OWN health care? If government is so bad, why don't you put your money where your mouth is and pay for private insurance? Here's why:Government can run health care well and you know it. You just want Obama to fail. How can a human being be so callous and selfish to put the very LIVES of millions of Americans behind their own political power?
If you want proof of the heartlessness and deceitful ways of corporate health insurance, just talk to my family. I once had an ear infection and the doctor forgot to write in what the treatment was for, so they billed us two years later (well beyond the 120-day limit to file an appeal), and we had to pay $500.00. In one instance, they have flat-out refused to pay for stitches I needed, and my dad got them to cough up $200.00 of the $1100.000, but he is still fighting with them. Also, dad fights with them about his medication all the time. The scariest part of this is that this is supposed to be the best coverage the state offers (my dad is a state worker). In this recession, how can we possibly be expected to pay over a thousand dollars for something totally unexpected? Especially with my parents both getting pay cuts, money has become pretty tight. Another frightening thought is that this has created a pretty big hardship for us, a middle-class family. Just think of what this could mean to those less fortunate than us.
