Should Government Also Sell Groceries?

ObamaCare in its present form, despite what the administration has said. will not force the 1500 or so private health insurance companies become more competitive.

All it had to do would be to make it possible for companies to compete across state lines. Yet ObamaCare did not call for it.

But if the government presence could make health insurance more competitive, why not a government supermarket chain to cut prices? Or a government clothing chain?

That is what Russian consumers “enjoyed” under the Soviet Union.( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole(r) Commentaries.)
