A) No health care changes at all. It's fine the way it is. Let the free market decide.
2) Heath care refom is necessary, but public insurance is not the option. Regulate the private insurers, help people afford private insurance, and let it be.
C) I support the public insurance option
4) I support single payer health care.
Oddly enough, I am actually in favor of #2. I think that, if we give all Americans a voucher for basic insurance (just enough to get preventative care, to reduce the strain on our emergency rooms), and prevent insurance companies from dropping current patients, or not insuring people with pre-existing conditions, that would be the ideal solution. In my opinion, insurance companies should not be allowed to continue these practices, as they allow them to profit on, well, killing Americans.
However, it seems to me that this isn't even being debated: I am getting the impression that most congressmen are "all or nothing" on this (even though most Americans are like me: support reform, but not this particular bill), so I jump on board the "all" bandwagon, and support Obama's plan until something better comes along.
