We're not going to get a health plan similar to England. It's not even on the table.
The vast majority of people in the US will continue to have private insurance. It's not even clear that there will be a government option -- the House bill has a public plan, but the Senate bill doesn't. And even if a public plan passes, only a relatively small percentage of people will have the government plan.
If there is a public plan in the US, it will probably be similar to Medicare. Does anyone have Medicare here? Do they allow you to substitute brand name drugs when there is a generic available?
