The Public Option's True Cost

Is there a way to make health insurance more affordable without implementing the public option?

Responses

One way to make health insurance more affordable is to allow small businesses to pool their employee pools and spread the risks across the entire base instead of across just a few employees.

A better way might be to re-incentivize the market based on outcomes rather than paying per diagnosis. This would mean that doctors would be paid more for helping people prevent care where possible.
