"A public insurance option would lower premiums in the private market."

Neutral summary. A public option is a government plan people could buy. The claim is about the private premiums next to it, not only about the public premium. Effects depend on what the public plan pays hospitals. Posted by sample_member · 9 days ago · 640 followers
