Congressional Budget Office says a strong public option saves money

Here is the link.
That represents the savings to the government. Having lower premiums will save money, lots of money, for individuals and companies as well. That's why the public option is so important to reforming the system.
Why don't we ever hear that on our teevee?

Total spending on health care, per person, 2007:
United States: $7290
Switzerland: $4417
France: $3601
United Kingdom: $2992
Average of OECD developed nations: $2964
Italy: $2686
Japan: $2581
These other countries spend a fraction of what we do on health care and they have better outcomes in many respects. We are being robbed of fortune and health by the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Are you OK with that?
