The Public option would SAVE $224 to $400 billion

GET THE FACTS BEHIND THE NEWS A look at insurance state by state shows that in most states one or two companies have about 80% of the healthcare insurance business. Pres Obrama mentioned that in Alabama one company has 90% of the business. In Maine Sen Snow's state Wellpoint has 71% of the insurance healthcare business etc.

We need a public option to give insurance buyers more choice and provide a low cost option FOR PEOPLE OF LIMITED MEANS.

The URBAN INSTITUTE Public Policy Institute estimated that a public option would save the taxpayers $224 to 400 Billion over a period of 10 years by lowering the the cost of proposed subsidies for the uninsured. More later
