Why are the health insurers so set against a public option? They fear for their profits and their jobs. But the health insurers do not contribute anything to the economy; they just create paperwork which they then shuffle. Give the top insurance executives their golden parachutes and retrain the rest of the insurance company employees, retraining in productive jobs such as green energy or providing health care services. Offer scholarships and student loans for the necessary retraining. We cannot afford to spend so much of the nation's resources in unproductive jobs such as health insurance.
