it,s just a way for gov. officials to put money in there pockets again or family members just a scam

That is also a major complaint I have with the government’s bid to get a controlling share of GM. There is no way to compete with that as a private company.

Nothing can compete with free. It’s not very difficult. All these left-wingers that come up with all these theories about how it will force private companies to lower their standards is just BS. Why would anyone stick to a private health insurance plan when their tax dollars are already paying for another one?

Your question can not be answered because you are absolutely right. No one can give you a legitimate reason because there isn’t one.

They could stop gouging consumers with excessive costs. They’ve gouged us for years, and those healthcare costs aren’t actually used for healthcare, they line the CEO’s wallet. Gouging just like the oil companies did for awhile. It needs to stop.

They would force private providers to provide better care and lower their administrative costs (which are around 3 times higher than the admin. costs of European government-run systems). It would force for-profit providers to lower their profit margins, but it wouldn’t run them into the ground. This isn’t rocket science you know.

Once the government sticks its fingers into anything the potential for a monopoly arises.

You apparently don’t know that most U.S. companies don’t pay taxes.
