re: #414 Coracle

That’s an interesting alarmism. Are we saying that no insurance corp is nimble enough or can come up with a truly competitive service against government?

It’s not interesting. Many far left-progressives have been promising it for years. In any case - here is another lesson is Economics 101 - which has been beat to death around here, but I will say it again.

The government does not have to compete because it does not have to make a profit. When the government needs more money to prop up a program, taxes are raised to cover the unfunded mandates. Meaning - we all pay for it anyway. That isn’t competition. All the government has to do it raise taxes or print more money - which is a house of cards. What we need is more competition outside of the government.

Consumers will pay the price if government partners with the health care industry
