I see the potential benefits to a public healthcare plan, but am in tommyo's camp on trusting the government when it comes to efficiency in running anything. But without the public option, the public at large really has no say on how the system should work. That will be dictated by for-profit businesses that have greater influence in our politics.
In my opinion, the reason a public plan won't work is because those that don't support or are representing private business will do whatever it takes to mismanage, underfund, and basically swipe the rug out of a program that 'could' work. Seems like this is the case with just about all government run programs. If the next administration or ruling party doesn't support it, well then we will have another overly funded, broken plan.
