Russia had a grocery store public option. I wonder how that ended up.

"I probably won't bring my kids to the doctor nearly as often since we won't have any co-pays. Right now I schedule a doctors appointment for any sniffle since it's $15, who cares."
to that end....how many persons take their child or themselves to a doctor for $15 to find out they can get OTC medications. 20 years ago, I was taken to the doctor only when there was something catastrophic that apirin or something a little stronger OTC couldn't fix.
I believe the public has gotten far, far away for taking responsibility for their own health. "let's just go to the dr. it's only $15" absurd!

I think everyone should get a public option for housing, guarenteeing each person 500 sq feet of living space.
a simple clean move to a system like Medicare for All
I had a woman tell me once that when she was in high school her mom was on an HMO plan that only had a $5 copay for Primary care visits. She said she went to the doctor once and thought he was cute, and periodically faked being sick so she could see him again. After all, it only cost $5, right?
I'm more for grocery copays - $35 and load up the cart.
I think we should petition for copays on tires, brakes and oil changes on our auto coverage. Do you have any idea how much a set of tires costs? (Even the Chinese tires).
Along similar lines, a phone conversation from yesterday with a teacher taking an extended leave and going from her school's group plan to the real world of insurance ($120/month to $1200 COBRA premium):
"I probably won't bring my kids to the doctor nearly as often since we won't have any co-pays. Right now I schedule a doctors appointment for any sniffle since it's $15, who cares."
Any government option that doesn't allow for co-pays like the mainstream system now will have people up in arms. Can you imagine what kind of waste will take place with high utilization rates due to low co-pays? I can hear Jesse Jackson now, "the government discriminates against poor people by having high co-pays so they can't get the care they need."
