Will Obama's 'Public Option' Insurance Abandon 100 Million Citizens?

Question

The study concludes that, although the government won't actually order people to leave their private insurance plans, it will induce their employers to do so. The taxpayer subsidies in the public option will tilt the economic scales so much that employers and individuals will abandon the private insurance market by the millions, the Lewin Group study indicates.

That article fails to mention 1 important fact:

"The Lewin Group is an Ingenix company.  Ingenix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group..."

Needless to say, United Health Group is a health insurance company. This seems to be a conflict of interest.

Nothing this guy says washes later. He's just drawing up total bull without even running the numbers. It's all been bull from the beginning. The country is headed into complete disaster.
People, most likely young liberals on here, will begin dropping off the screen pretty soon because they won't be able to get jobs or pay for internet. And yet they argue here out of wishful thinking.

Yes many small business's will opt out as the fines will be less than HAVING to insure their employees.  Thus those employees would be required to buy into the "GOVERNMENT PLAN'.  We WILL end up with a Government run one payer system in the end.  That is EXACTLY what Obama is shooting for.  A HUGE POWER GRAB, and MORE OF YOUR FREEDOMS LOST
