The public health insurance option and Public Misconception of reform -

U.S. The big news on a insurance blog illness anyway, was the draft health reform bill in the US Senate include a public health insurance option, reported CNN .

a close aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told CNN that the public option would be included in the bill and a clause allowing individual states to opt out of the plan they chose.

the opt-out, something we blogged about last week, is a political response to the progressive Democratic base That, AOS increasingly agitated at the bill, AOS current form .

move Risky, senator. Holding to voice as conservative Democrats like Senator Ben Nelson and Senator Blanche Lincoln could make or break the health reform. And we can, AOT surely forget Senator Olympia Snowe, who is the only Republican to show interest in what the Democrats are pushing.

So say we get reform. Say it happens in December and the Democrats, especially President Obama, get a $ 800 billion Christmas. Does that mean we, people also ours? Actually, no, we don, AOT.

Most of the bill provisions, OSA, as now, don, AOT take effect until 2013. That, AOS four years to ask whether the bill to amend care health and the health insurance system will work.

Or the one hand, it makes sense. The health system in the United States is a complex there, AOS mess any way we can implement major changes within a few months or even a year. By giving us four years to surface will likely do much good to help keep what works, will work fine.

But for Americans who need relief now, this bill will be a big disappointment. And there, AOS a very good public luck of the bill will be a dive shortly after passing his potential.

A recent survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, half of America believes that changes in health care and health insurance will begin to occur in the next year.

A staggering 49 percent think that in the next year, people will get financial assistance in the purchase of health insurance plans. What, AOS addition, 51 percent believe that health insurance companies will accept all applications with pre-existing conditions.

So no relief for four years and the push for a public option that would condemn health reform entirely?

speak of a political time bomb.
