Reply #21: Buy into the Public Option?

How does that work if we take into consideration an Opt-Out option. If the state opts-out, you can't come in. But then no State with a brain will do such a thing. We'll see what the final bill says. I'm actually game for people who have employee insurance to stay with that.

The thing with the PO is that you get basic care. Normally basic care doesn't cover dental or opthamologists. You'd have to still pay that out of pocket. So if you are getting employee insurance then that should remain the case and those people who get that shouldn't get the PO. Not only that it wouldn't meet their needs 100% all the way. Most employee plans, if not all gives you the option of covering dental. I think it should be for those who don't have insurance or employee insurance.
