You have to ask why are private insurance companies spending millions to lobby against passing reforms including the “public option”?

The insurance companies are fighting pretty hard to stop health care reform so it must be because the changes would lower their profits and benefit all of us.
I doubt that insurance companies will go out of business because a small percent of households qualify for government health plan. According to some sources only 10 million would actually enroll in a public plan. Those insurers you are worried about have other subsidiaries and interests and are not only in health insurance. You should be more concerned about your countrymen than the profits of an insurance conglomerate
