Regulate and cap just to make a point in the political game, produce the illusion you did address the bonuses and level of salaries that have sometimes been over the top.... afterwards...., some seem to have the intention to come to Pittsburgh to dictate the results of their failed home policies.....
Common sense teach that in most cases, when too much money is spent in an inappropriate way or at least evaluated as such, it's just mean it is made too easily.... so trying to regulate or cap the amount or nature of the spendings is adressing the consequences not the cause of the problem.... Why not trying to address the competition conditions of the sector where we all know the consumer is very poorly treated?
By how much do you evaluate the chances of capping salaries or bonuses with success if the companies paying these bonuses and salaries don't see any change of their forecast level of profits?
Don't you think they will quickly find some new ways to do what they want with their profits if they don't see any change in the future market conditions?
Should Governments be ever involved in what companies do with their profits? Should Governments be more implicated in legislations giving a more balanced relation between industries and consumers knowing that in europe for quite a while before the crisis, the industry acting like a cartel made some very very easy profits (billions) collecting fees of all kinds from every account holders, most being disproportionate ?
Did in europe, the industry agreed on what and how much all kinds of services previously free weren't anymore.....?
Have these very easy made billions been spent unwisely on bonuses and salaries of Ceos ... and invested just as unwisely fueling the real estate backed securities bubble ?

Happy now... I just changed what you pointed out ... then about the liability for the taxpayer... the truth is first they charged payrolls quite heavily and years after years got to the point where the social security (public healthcare)rate reached 13.85% of any salary, following years and years of deficits as you may have noticed heathcare costs don't go down but up, later came a new tax targeting all revenues including savings as well as wages, to begin with the rate was I think 2% and is now 7.5 % and more recently a new one showed up at 0.5%....
That's why I think to be honest, a public option is truly an unlimited liability for the taxpayer and not just for the most wealthy and there is no way back.
To that you have to add that the true question to ask should be what's wrong with the economy that we see a growing number of families unable to afford a basic healthcare insurance even before the crisis erupted? Therefore if this isn't fixed before discussing any public option, the number of people forced into the public option can only grow and the costs as well resulting rather soon than later in a tax increase to fund it, doesn't it?
I mean, france doesn't just run on a daily basis some death panels for patients in heavy care, as an example, what happened during the 2003 summer I think it is, it's more like a killing campaign when they had some 10,000 or 15,000 ederlies that died from "the heat", no kidding...!!!, and... from a lack of care... don't laugh...!!!, they didn't receive enough drinking water and didn't have any cooler....!! The "minister", HHS Secretatry, was on vacation.... so what.... what about everybody else.... well, never mind.
Now guess what, who died... I mean if you carefully looked at numbers which are pretty rough to get as for the same kind of reasons, they do not count....!!, get what I mean..., obviously "the lack of care" seems to have somehow targeted quite explicitly "people" of former small nations descent moved to several urban centers... to weaken their capacity to fight for their rights wherever they may have been from, Corsica, Euskal Herria, Breizh and others sometimes less well known.
This to tell you they run death panels at different levels for different purposes, though all aimed at control the level of spending to reduce the costs for the state behaving in a far worse manner than any capitalist insurance company may ever do....
They experienced the same type of massive killing with their blood bank organisation... pretending at all times that state runned organisations is the guarantee of fairness and the lack of profit as a goal, the guarantee to avoid profit inspirational behaviour, never the less, that bank behaved just like the worse of any criminal organisations and sold all their blood stock to hospitals killing at least hundreds probably thousands... will learn later that destroy the entire blood stock at the time would represent losses of millions.....
Now you can measure the type of guarantees state runned organisations provide compare with the ugly capitalist insurance companies runned by some no less ugly people, no Warren;;, I of course excluded Geico...!
Health care reform, would a public option be financed by the tax payer creating an unlimited liability for him in both amount and time? If yes, I guess the Founfing Fathers would have opposed it as such a liability once created would be out of the People's reach to control or cancel.
How would such a financial liability be limited in amount? I guess the only way would be the death panels... just like the french do.... but they have a nicer name for that, they call it "fight forced therapies", "isn't shameful, some doctors may want to heal people that could be let to die...? Much better debate than death panels..?
What do say of Sen Baucus proposal? I don't know, as he said something about the public option financing that can't be anything less than a growing deficit hole tax payer financed?
