yes, in most cases the fine is cheaper than paying for insurance so most will
The proposal with the Public Health Insurance options was that the US government would create a health insurance agency to compete with other health care agencies. The health care agency would be run by the government.
Health insurance is quite expensive and is best gained via your employer as the cheapest means. For public insurance, there is COBRA. There are other small insurance companies that may have lower rates.
Your mom's company will probably drop its current health insurance plan and go with Obama's public option, because the public option is going to be cheaper than private insurance. You'll still have coverage, but being cheaper, it probably won't be as good as what you have now.
Try your state's insurance program for lowpaid workers...visit local public clinics...buy into your employer or school's insurance program. It is worth it.
Some reputable companies that provide employer and public liability insurance are Allstate, State Farm, DGI, Allied Insurance, Nationwide, and Zenith to name just a few.
The "Obamacare" Act, as far as I can decipher (I'm not a politician or professor so to some extent this is my opinion) gives a government option to healthcare. Essentially the government becomes your health insurance. Just like Medicare/Medicaid pay for benefits, so would the new government health insurance. Furthermore there would be a universal mandate to get health insurance. That means that you have to have health insurance, just like you have to have car insurance. If you don't have health insurance, either private or public, you have to pay a tax.

During her 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton proposed to expand and improve the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by providing a public health insurance option, often referred to as a "Medicare-like" plan, which would be available to all Americans. This would allow individuals who did not have access to employer-sponsored coverage or were unable to afford private insurance to enroll in a government-run insurance plan. Clinton also proposed to increase subsidies to help make insurance more affordable for low-income families and individuals.

No, infact if the public option is included (which it looks like it will) insurance costs will go down. This will be because of increased competition created and the insurance companies will have to put more value into their product in order to compete.
