If The Government Can Operate Health Insurance Cheaply, Why Not Supermarkets?
The argument this Administration has been using for its proposed public option for health insurance, is that this choice will force the 1500 or so private health insurance companies to become more competitive.
The fact that 1500 health insurance companies compete is not competitive enough, in the Administration’s view, is a problem I guess.
But if the government presence will make health insurance more competitive, why not a government supermarket chain? That ought to cut prices. Or a government clothing chain? It seems we now have autos from Uncle Sam, don’t we? Why not more of government from this Administration?
But as I recall, that is what the Russians enjoyed under the Soviet Union? They really had a ball as consumers of goods and services, didn’t they?
