The insurance lobby won't be able to block a public health plan because most Americans realize they would be better off if the industry had competition, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Tuesday. (June 16)
The health insurance companies have a pretty sweet deal, they get to cherry pick from the healthy pool while medicare and medicaid get to cover the risky portion of the population (the older and the less healthy). Health insurance companies even want a much sweeter deal, because they want mandated insurance BUT they don't want a public plan option that would push them to be more competitive.
