Only if you make under $1 million dollars (or $290,000), or maybe your donations will be reimbursed at 25% instead of 36% if you make over $1 million. Who knows which one will be in the final bill.
It does sound like this public plan is going to only be for those too poor, or too sick to have any other insurance company want them. (Or at least that is what I hope it would be used for)
If all of the small business people, self-employed, early retirees, and in-between job unemployed were able to form one big risk pool, their rates would be reasonable for the basics and catastrophic coverage.
