I'll ask you the same question I posed to rahl earlier. It would seem that those opposed to a government option should have little to fear from it since they surely wouldn't buy a plan with a government death panel in it.

If some people are afraid that the government option may contain a death panel can't they just pay a little more and get a private plan? Those who would rather have a group of insurance adjusters deciding what is medically necessary rather than a government appointed panel may be willing to pay more. This may be a way for private insurers to compete, something like " Blue Cross will never pull the plug on grandma".
