Does anyone seriously believe that the public option is going to "put insurance companies out of business"?

That's kind of like saying that the US Postal Service is going to put UPS and Fed Ex out of business... I haven't seen that happen yet, and UPS is over 100 years old.Does anyone seriously believe that the public option is going to "put insurance companies out of business"?
The "public option" will lead to single payer and that will destroy the health insurance industry and lead to worse, more expensive health care.
Doesn't the postal service keep raising its prices every couple of years?



Hmmm....Does anyone seriously believe that the public option is going to "put insurance companies out of business"?
The US Postal service is in serious financial trouble. So is the Government run health plan in Mass.



What makes you think the Governments plan is going to work, or are you just willing to gamble off 900 billion of your kids debt?
The postal service is not one sixth of our economy, and if Obaama wanted, he could regulate until UPS and Fedex are driven out of business.

Competition?

Which singular health insurance company has access to offer its service in every state, like a proposed public option?

None! That is the answer.

The government would force its "option" on every state, making it more accessible than any other insurer.

Don't you get it?Does anyone seriously believe that the public option is going to "put insurance companies out of business"?
USPS needs to be put out of business.



How come the other company's make a profit but not the Post Office.



So you want more waste.

How old are you?
No. It's just more right wing fearmongering teamed up with corporate lobbyists. They like controlling the industry at our expense.
I doubt it. I haven't seen prices go down. It would be nice to see the work harder to get business.
Could be the means to an end.
The postal service is running at a loss and is funded in part by the taxpayer, even though it is supposed to be self-sustaining - which as we see is not run well. I don't think a public option will put insurance companies out of business, it will put most Americans into the poverty level when they have to support another government run business.
