The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote when it reconvenes next week on inclusion of a government-run public alternative for health insurance. Democrats are pressing the issue after the panel’s chairman authorized more limited health cooperatives in an offer to draw Republican support. However, the insurance industry disputes new taxes as well as the public option, claiming it would disrupt coverage. According to Robert Zirkelbach, an insurance spokesman, a new government-run plan would dismantle employer coverage, bankrupt hospitals, and raise the federal deficit. He states that it might drive private insurers out of business. Do you agree? Will the new government plan drive insurers out of business?
