They won't be able to rip us off.

Sounds to me like the Obama Administration wants to offer Americans a choice: two kinds of health care. We'd be able to choose between private plans, or a public plan, similar to Medicare. That's fine with me. Because the majorty of us will choose the public sector plan. Overwhelmingly. In the end, it'll pretty much eliminate private health insurance plans. They won't be able to compete with the far superior government plan. And we'll have a single-payer system. Of course, the private sector will doggedly oppose government getting into the health care business. Because then the private insurers won't be able to rip us off any more. --Jim Broede
