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
lowcost 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.
