Little-noticed possibilities in a public option or “coop” type of universal health care would be the facilitation of unionized hospitals and other providers. This could be the end of any vestige of so-called lower-cost health care.
Union objectives and not consumer interests will take preference as it does today with education, as one glaring example. Further, It could do to any government plan what Big Unions did to GM and Chrysler.
Such strike threats on state or regional levels will blackmail at will, at all times, whatever and whenever union demands come up for contract renewals.
