Don't worry. If these for-profit companies do what for-profit companies have done lately (focus on the short-term gains), then a public option won't be far off. If they do what I suspect they'll do and take us all to the cleaners, Congress is going to have to step in and do something. The only thing I can see hindering them in that regard is the 15% cap on administrative costs.
I don't think it's a question if 'if,' though, but rather 'when' the private companies wear out their welcome.
