Single-payer is a complete government-run health insurance system under which everyone is covered, e.g., Canada's system. The "public option" is a single federal insurance plan that would compete with private insurance companies.
The difference between a "public option" and a single-payer plan?

Though I'd prefer a single-payer plan, the public option is acceptable.

Public option is fine, give the insurance companies a bit of competition..not that I would hop on the public option.

So we are suppose to just accept being told by wanna be dictators what to do? To hell with that.
Of course, We, The People, had a hand in turning over our freedom to the politicians. We did this by allowing politicians to become career politicians.
