Current premiums won't change much and if they do they'll be right back up where they were before you know it. It's the same game they are playing with the banking system. Nothing new. There's one thing you can guarantee, that is that the insurance companies are going to win in this either way and the people will get fucked.
Bottom line:

A health care plan with a viable public option would represent a significant improvement over what we have now.

A health care plan without a viable public option would be far worse than what we have now.

So yeah, if it goes down like you're predicting, then we're all fucked.

I'm still holding out some hope that congress will get it right though.
