An Entity of Type: aircraft, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The public health insurance option, also known as the public insurance option or the public option, is a proposal to create a government-run health insurance agency that would compete with other private health insurance companies within the United States. The public option is not the same as publicly funded health care, but was proposed as an alternative health insurance plan offered by the government. The public option was initially proposed for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but was removed after independent Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman threatened a filibuster. Subsequently, Congress did not include the public option into the bill passed under reconciliation. The public option would later be supported by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party in the 2016 and 2020
