Reply #16: Well, if anyone could decide to personally opt/buy into it, thats another good aspect

(though, it may not happen, at all. And there is the added concern of having employers pay out if they were already providing an employer plan)

And while I understand the concept of "evolve", unless something is firmly legislated, you cannot count on it happening through some natural process. Having faith and hope in something not on paper is foolish. So to pass mandates and hope the public option may cover everyone, well, may not be entirely sound if that is what you were getting at.

Since you said the language of the bill will allow 100% to choose to enter the exchange, it seems you weren't implying that (though Im not entirely sure that is the truth yet)
