<p>Mike Van Winkle interviews Michael F. Cannon of the Cato Institute about the problems with the proposed government-run insurance plan (generally called the &#8220;public option&#8221;). Can government really &#8220;compete&#8221; with the private sector? Can a public insurance plan ever be self-sustaining as many in Congress would have us believe? These questions and more.
