The problem is that there are many ways to look at this issue. I'm not
in favor of government run health care for a variety of reasons.

Just curious, what do you think about the proposed co-ops? It's my
understanding that some form of health insurance, as reform is now
proposed, will be mandatory. Without some form of competition to the
health insurance companies, mandatory seems very scary to me. The public
option would have provided that competition, but I think co-ops,
depending on how they are set up, could also work.
