Without a public option the Baucus bill is nothing more than a windfall for Insurance Companies

Why should we be forced to premiums of which a goodly portion will wind

up in the pockets of corporate executives as profit while minium coverage is provided.

A public option provides an answer. Raise the FICA ceiling and increase slightly

increae the withholding and it wll pay for increased Medicare coverage. The increae in taxes

would be far cheaper than paying for the ever increasing premiums and shrinking coverage

of for profiy health insurance companies
