Pick your "affordable premium". When the poll is complete, I will post some numbers I received from an inside source (possible sample premiums for the public option).
Lets see if your idea of "affordable" and the governments idea of "affordable" are the same.
Well that may sound fair but if you live in say NYC making $55,000 verses living in Kansas making $30,000 the person making $30,000 will be much better off. You simply can not have blanket amounts because it is all depends on WHERE you live.
Very true.
In any case, it doesn't too much matter what we all think. The health insurance companies have pretty much bought off most of Congress and don't give a dam* about the average American citizen.
Is this single or family plan. Certainly makes a difference. Does it cover everything?
Affordable would be more for a family plan. 350 for a family plan with no deductible and no copays and pays 100% that would be sweet.
In the first post it said it would be for a single person.
I hardly know of any health insurance plan that covers EVERYTHING being offered to the American people and if it does, I doubt the average American can afford it.
Of course those in Congress have a nice big government run health insurance plan and we taxpayers pay for it all.
I just want to be a Senator for a year or so, that way I'll be covered for life.

I agree that work needs to be done with the insurance companies.
Any public option should include a co-pay for all doctor's office visits. People should not feel like they can just drop in the doctors office anytime they get the sniffles. If it is free to go, the waiting rooms will be filled with recreational medical care seekers, you know the kind of people who are at the doctor's office everytime their tummy aches, or they have some joint stiffness, or a little unexplained rash on their arm, or they "just don't feel good". If people are forced to pay everytime they go, it could make people less likely to abuse the system.
