That's (the bolded bit) kind of my point. Price rations goods. Price rations health care goods. We do ration now, that statement shouldn't be controversial to anyone who has taken an introductory economics course and recognizes that health care is not an unlimited resource.
And a public option ,as you have admitted, will lower the price reimbursement on health care, which in turn lowers the amount available. Which in turn will result in rationing health care because the normal price mechanism will be unavailable due to government fiat.
