If someone, anyone, could provide a good working model of how a public option shoud work---I could be convinced to get behind a public option.
I worked for the private company who administered the claims for Medicare....it was a sham. The paid for things that were questionable, but denied IMPORTANT things. For example---would pay for an ingrown toenail removal, but denied the ambulance ride to the MDs office. Why use an ambulance to transport? Bed bound patient on oxygen...
When our country can operate an insurance company (Medicare/Medicaid) and show that they know how to do it---then, I think we should discuss public option for healthcare.
