I have a problem because when the government gets into the healthcare business, they aren’t on an equal footing with other insurers. They can demand savings, or institute price controls or do whatever they want to make their plan either more efficient, or seem more efficient. Also, they don’t have to worry about even breaking even because they have an endless supply of investment dollars (taxes).

Okay then, how about the compramise of a non profit healthcare company started with government seed money? That way it can compete with the other companies, if it keeps taking looses it will tank and vanish and if it works then it works. That sound like a fair middle ground?
