Why are private insurance groups so afraid of a competitive public plan?
Because they can't Compete with a Blank Check...
A Blank Check held by the Regulators of the Industry that this "Competition" is Supposedly happening in...
I don't Know why some Liberals can't Understand some of the Words in our Language and their Meanings...
Or this Basic Concept that is so Painfully Obvious, a Gradeschooler can Grasp it.
peace...
i guess i am a kindergartner, because i still don't understand?
the public option would operate under the SAME rules as the private companies...?
what breaks or extra power are you ASSUMING the public option would have that would make this competition unfair?
ARE YOU AGAINST the private sector competing with the public sector as well?
why be hypocrites now regarding gvt and the private sector competing for our gvt dollars that we spend each year in taxes on healthcare for all of us?
you know, if our gvt gave no tax breaks or tax credits to people or companies for our healthcare, or didn't pay for near all children's healthcare with SCHIP, all heathcare for MEDICAID and MEDICARE recipients, all healthcare for the various militaries and their families, and retired military and their families and many veterans, and all menial gvt employees and their families, and all in congress and their families, and all at the post office and their families, and all in the senate and their families ALREADY, then our gvt really would be REACHING in trying to compete with the private sector, BUT SUCH, IS NOT the case....private companies should be competing for these gvt healthcare dollars being spent already, and IF and only IF the public option can COMPETE and OUT DO the private sector on cost AND BENEFITS for the policy holder, should it continue even being an option...
IT WILL BE A HUGE MISTAKE to pass this GIFTHORSE to the insurance companies, handing them at least 20-50 million more customers, without them even having to compete for them....which could lower prices.
