Will health care reform or the public option destroy the employer-based health care system? Will it lead to single payer health care?
No. In fact it will do just the opposite: it will expand the employer-based health care system. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, under the House health care reform bill the number of people obtaining coverage through employers would increase by about 6 million. Health care reform builds on the current system and improves it by making health care more affordable for families and businesses.
