All possible plans would be funded by the people who can afford to pay, whether through taxes or premuims. I agree that a public option would add efficiency, and further believe that single payer would be even better, but we had to deal with the fact that all Republicans and some Democrats wouldn't do it.
But paying more for less coverage is the status quo, not the fault of HIR. I'm sure the Republicans and the insurance companies will take great glee in blaming all of the companies' misbehavior on the new laws, but they've been doing it for years.
They'll probably be on their worst behavior for a while, in hopes of getting a repeal. I hope it backfires on them.
