You are just muddying up a debate that should not be this hard. There are 2 countries in the world that do not have public healthcare; The US and Liberia. Whatever counterpoints there are to the public option, 196+ countries have already had those conversations and already solved the problems. >You risk creating a two-tier system of public-private insurance where healthy, wealthy people have access to concierge preventative care and very fast specialist referrals, while the chronically sick (uninsurable) and non-wealthy are stuck in a publicly run system with less preventative care and worse referral and wait times. Sure, if that happens, fine let it happen. 0.1% of people might fall into the bracket of wealth that use private healthcare. Would you really hold up healthcare for 99.9% of people because of this? You do not have the answer, but everyone else does. Go public. The benefits far outweigh any detraction.
