Will the government-funded health insurance company drive private insurers out of business?

Just like the US postal service drove UPS and FedEx out of business?Will the government-funded health insurance company drive private insurers out of business?
absolutely
hope soWill the government-funded health insurance company drive private insurers out of business?
How is it going to do that? In order to qualify, you cannot have employer sponsored health care.
"Business", yes, I hope so. This form of usury, where life is concerned, should not long continue. I don't really care that much about about of brown shirts that steal.Will the government-funded health insurance company drive private insurers out of business?
Who knows. People are supporting something that could cost them $2000 a month or $100 per month.
No, but it will force them out of their ivory towers......
I can only hope so. The private insurance business is worthless and expensive. Nothing like paying $600 a month for nothing.
Apples to oranges comparison. The postal service has legal monopolies for letters, which the others don't carry. It is running in red ink and cutting services. The government funded plan will easily undercut all the competition using taxpayer dollars.



Why don't you look for a rational argument to support your case?
I sense sarcasm.....or at least, I really hope I do. :)
Bad comparison. The USPS isn't subsidized by taxpayers. Their budget is limited to the fees paid by the people who use the service, so they can't afford to undercut the competition.



There's going to be no such limitation on the public option.
UPS and FEDEX came along AFTER the post office was formed



Those two companies arise from the CRAPPY SERVICE provided by the government.



In Canada they have OUTLAWED private health care, and obama wants to destroy private care here too



This plan SUCKS
A conservative doesn't think about these things. They just wanna play the "whoever has the most toys when they die wins" game.
Keep the free market alive, say NO to the government option. But demand reform that will work done by all parties. Fix things, don't add to the problems.
Bad example Kevin. UPS and FedEx make a profit. US postal service? Not so much.
Eventually it may drive others out of business, when they are taxed to pay for it.
Ups and fed x are still in business, and no Private insurers will be forced to drop there rates and the greedy CEO"s will get a much smaller paycheck. You need to get a firmer grasp on reality because you run off at the key board spewing unfounded trash without thinking before posting, Because you are blinded by the fact your wing nuts the geezer and gidiot got there asss kicked.
What it will do is force people who have good coverage now out of their current plans and into a public option. Which in the long run will run a lot of company's out of business and the others will shift there focus to what the public option won't cover(cancer, long term care, special treatment for certain diseases,). It's funny how the public option won't help in these areas to save lives, but it will fund abortions to end lives.
No. They will integrate into the lager industry, and offer additional services. Services that would be considered outside the norm or usual.

FedEx and UPS are still doing better business then the post office. Who do think the post office uses for overloads. The post office even uses general transport carriers.

Similarly, public insurance will still use private investment houses.
Doesn't the postal service have to raise its prices every couple of years?



And no they won't run private insurances out of businesses, it just will be impossible for individuals to BUY private insurance.



Another "luxury" only the wealthy will be able to afford.



Thanks dems, you didn't kill private insurance, you just killed the middle class.



Great going.
