pushing the "level playing field" concept. They acknowledge that the government run plan would be cheaper because it wouldn't have the need for a built in profit. They say this isn't FAIR to the private insurers -- and it would result in everybody flocking to the government plan -- so they are demanding concessions that would "level the playing field." But this would defeat the whole purpose of a government run option!
