Reply #11: I agree with you on Daily Kos and on the need to really have a discussion

as to what the proposed system will be. So far, the choice is to read the over 1000 page bill, with language that I really have trouble following or to read 2 paragraph summaries. Part of this is maybe the complexity of the insurance plans themselves, but there should be something - maybe from the administration explaining clearly what the overall system will be and what the public plan covers and how it works. Some information is not even available now - such as which doctors and hospitals will sign on.

Now in fairness, my husband and I found it really really hard to compare the plan his company offers and the use I can get as a retiree to see which we should pay the co-pays for. With the public option, the devil will be in the details - and we don't have them yet.
