RoyalOrleans Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 At the center of the health care debate this week will be something the media is allowing the looters to get away with calling the "public option." This "public option" is a government owned, government run and government controlled health insurance plan that is to compete with privately run health insurance companies. Since it is to be government owned, government run, staffed by government employees and controlled by politicians, why not call this the "government option?" The SOLE purpose of the government option is to run private health insurance companies out of business. The looters absolutely HATE the private insurance companies. They hate them because they're privately owned, they're privately controlled and they make money. Plus ... they discriminate. If you get sick and then get out there and try to buy insurance .. you can't. The statists know that these government-run insurance companies will run private insurance out of business. How could they not? How would you like to own a private business that has to compete with a government-run business that can operate forever at a loss? Just what chance of survival do you think you would have? Once the government option runs the private insurance companies out of business what will we have? Simple! The government option! That puts the government in charge ... and there's your single payer plan! Now you have the government - and that means marginally qualified and under-educated government hacks - making every single decision on who gets paid what for delivering any health care service. 1 Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
