People who have good insurance plans will certainly be very unhappy at being forced into what they will likely perceive, rightly or wrongly, to be the inferior government plan. I suspect Warren will have a lot of difficulty getting her plan approved by even a Democrat controlled Congress. An opt-in type of plan will likely get us to single payer over time, as many employers will decide that they do not need to offer a full health insurance plan.
Great you just described the Public Option Obama wanted but got shot down.
