Wait, a system where the government provides a service subsidized by taxes, and where if the citizens don't like it they can get a private option, and the existence of the government option would force the private options to be innovative and competitive if they wanted to continue existing?

Man, what a healthy approach to industry. I wonder in what other ways we could carefully apply this method?

Private ISPs are already highly subsidized by taxes... Just take away those subsidies and give us a public option.
