That's not true. Clearly Bree is already on the demand side of the equation, she just feels like the price is too high to purchase the good in question (graphically, this means that Bree is on the demand curve below the point of equilibrium). What the government is talking about doing is adding some sort of regulation or "public option." Regulation would create a shortage (demand outweighs supply because of a price ceiling on health insurance) while a public option would roughly equate to new firms joining the supply side of the equation, which would actually lead to the equilibrium price dropping (meaning we'd all pay less). This is actually the substance of the debate right now because health insurance providers say that lower prices mean that they'll go out of business, but that really depends on the nature of the health care industry, which tends to be described as an oligopolistic model. This is a different subject, though. You still have an argument, just the point about premiums going up is wrong due to the faulty economics.
