Here are just a few thoughts to consider when thinking about a private insurance plan versus the public option the government is presenting.

Health Insurance as it stands is not a perfect system and one of the main reasons is it is one of the most highly government regulated industries in the entire US.
There are both State and Federal mandates (over 3,000 total) that require health insurance companies to pay for certain procedures, drugs, etc.
In other words the government is already playing watch dog for this industry and by doing so they continue to drive up the costs with every mandate.

With a public government run system the watch dog for the government is the government itself. So in other words they will be policing themselves as well as the insurance companies.

It really doesn't take someone in the health care industry to figure out for the government to be competitive they will NOT require the same set of rules for their plan as they do for a private plan.
