Public option. It’s basically the government will sell you Medicare (at best), likely subsidized to your financial needs. And it’s worse because it’s easier for insurance companies to lobby to gut and privatize. Single payer means everyone just has government insurance in the same way we all have access to firefighting services. You pay a tax for it yes, but the efficiency comes from there only needing to be one of this thing.
