... I ask if he and everyone else who believes we would spend too much on public run options if they're willing to refuse medicare coverage and Social Security.

Let's see a show of hands; how many people think the government run health care bill should be eliminated? Now; those with their hands up, how many are willing to refuse medicare coverage and Social Security in an effort to save our government money?

Hey, public schools can't work either, cross them off the list. Public roads, trasportation, Coast Guard, Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines, cross them off the list cause they're run by our government too... :)
