President Obama has made his own preferences clear. In a letter to Senators Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Max Baucus of Montana, the chairmen of two key Senate committees, he wrote: “I strongly believe that Americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans. This will give them a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest.”

the conjecture is your assertion that "companies" would "run" to a public health alternative to a private insurance option. companies must compete for talent, the proposed public insurance is not the same as the private policies. why you believe that private companies would not need to compete for the most talented workers by offering benefits- which is what happens every day- is poorly based conjecture.
and btw thanks for showing exactly what I've been saying is true. there will be choices for everybody to select from, but the most critical element will be that everybody will have coverage. one size will not fit all. insurance providors will need to compete for the business.
