force insurance companies to be competitive, especially since the rest of the HCR "forces" other folks to buy insurance or be "fined" creating a whole new forced market for the insurance companies, who don't care about the "poor' as they wouldn't have purchased insurance anyway?

Looking over some of these proposals it seems to me that we aren't being offered anything! The only way the Public Option encourages competition which would contain price is by being extended to ALL Americans.Any thoughts?
