MANY IN CONGRESS ARE STILL DISCUSSING THE "PUBLIC OPTION" FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.  THIS WOULD PUT A GOVERNMENT HEALTH PLAN INTO BEING, WHICH WOULD COMPETE WITH THE MANY PRIVATE PLANS NOW AVAILABLE. IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THE HEALTH PLANS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE.  IF YOU HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE, YOU WOULD ALSO HELP SUBSIDIZE THE PUBLIC OPTION WITH TAXES.  WOULD IT PUT THE PRIVATE COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS?  WOULD YOU OPT FOR THE PUBLIC OPTION IF IT WAS AVAILABLE?
