Need any other reason?

Well, let's talk about those with PRIVATE INSURANCE -- those who take them from their employers. People employed by big companies that offer a health plan are within a layoff notice of losing coverage for themselves or their families, joining America's millions of uninsured.

Their only alternative right now is the individual market, where insurers scrutinize applicants' medical histories, looking for reasons to turn them down or charge them exorbitant premiums. If you happen to have a chronic illness, You're virtually uninsurable at an affordable cost.

Even if you're accepted, your carrier reserves the right to cancel your policy retroactively if it finds that you left even a tiny condition from years back off your application.

So, for these people with these kinds of conditions, what is your only option ? It seems like the public option may be your lifeline.

Unless of course, you would like to tell him --- TOUGH LUCK ! IT's YOUR PROBLEM, DEAL WITH IT.
