This video shows the result of people being scared out of they’re wits. Through a very effective fear mongering and misinformation campaign. I’m saddened at how much this “debate” has devolved. It has devolved into something completely unrecognizable from what it was just a month ago. I pray that the President does not do away with the public option. The fact that the insurance industry is scared shitless of this, tells me that it has the potential to make a difference , and probably for the good.
Sure the British or Canadian setup may not be the systems we want to emulate, due to the fact that they have to wait a long time for doctors and specialized surgeries. Those are not the only system(s) in the world; we have a multitude from a variety, French, Swiss, Norwegian, Japanese, and German all have public health care. We have the luxury of cherry picking what has worked and what has not and tweaking it to work for our society.

This is a thought that has just popped into my head, the death panel argument really holds no water. Because the insurance companies don’t want any competition in that area, except that the industry calls them underwriters. Think about it for a moment.
Take a look at this wikipedia article, it has some interesting links at the bottom of the page. Yea it's wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt:
