This is regarding Health Care, so please just take it easy and hear me out.
A health care option, even one offered by the Government (the folks who brought you the Veterans Administration), is good because it competes with insurance companies.
Competition is good for 2 Reasons.
1. It forces companies to be nice to consumers (us) with both prices and service.
2. Only confident consumers improve economies.
Competition is Capitalism 101. Competition makes corporations compete for consumer confidence, and confident consumers drive an economy like ours.
For my Republican friends who say: “Let The Free Market decide,” to you I say: “Yes! Let’s give The Free Market a decision to make!”
Let’s hug it out, Republican friends.

Only if the government doesn’t tax the hell out of private plans, thus FORCING people to go with the government plan, which will inevitably raise taxes and fees on all of us to pay for it and all the fraud it will come with. Not too mention it’s just brilliant to do this when the tax base is shrinking more and more every day. Not looking forward to socialism, but I am looking forward to the backlash after this gets shoved down our throats.

I love the American way of thinking about health care: “The white hot, expensive rod up my ass has me in complete agony…but I don’t want to change because it might be worse!”

We are already paying for it. One way or another. Whether its offense or defense, we all have to pay..I mean play.
