The argument the Obama administration has been using for its proposed health insurance, is that its choice will force the 1500 or so private health insurance companies become more competitive.
The fact that 1500 health insurance companies compete is not competitive enough, in the Administration’s view. All it had to do would make it possible for companies to compete across state lines.
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. Why not more of government from this administration which loves to emulate socialistic tendencies?
That is what the Russians enjoyed under the Soviet Union? They really had a ball as consumers of goods and services, didn’t they?
