Fair enough, I'll concede that. I suppose my opposition does fall back on my distaste for people profiting from the business of figuring out how not to cover people's medical bills. So at least with public option/single payer, people aren't being forced to contribute to those profits.
That said, I still support that over nothing because, theoretically, getting EVERYONE into the insurance pool will help spread costs around and reduce cost of insurance for everyone. Theoretically. But I still consider it purely a baby step.
