But that last sentence will be true with any version of the public option discussed as well.

Public or private it requires people who can't afford insurance now (or choose not to) to buy insurance and then offers subsidies to those who can't afford. The difference with a public option (potentially) is that you'd subsidies would be cheaper if the plan really is cheaper than private insurance but that doesn't really have much to do with affordability on the consumer end.
