Once the government takes over, that's the only choice we will have.

IMHO the better way to go would be to expand mediciad/medicare to take
care of those who cannot procure/afford health insurance through other
means.

That way 85% of the folks won't qualify for the government option rather
than having employers fobbing off their employees onto the government
simply because there is a financial incentive to do so.
