After all, how can a for profit org compete with a public

Huh? I thought "privatization" was the cost cutting mantra of the
Right. You know, how a lean mean corporation was more efficient than
a
bloated government agency. So, does this mean that if we eliminate
private health insurance companies, and go with a single payer public
option, our health cost would go down? Damn, you're turning into a
Liberal.

Not really, look at the success record of govt "not for profit"
organizations. I would rather pay for something that works, than pay
double for something that doesn't.


Yup. Medicare and the VA don't work. Bummer.


Well, I guess it depends on who is in office at the time. When it was
Bush they sure didn't, that is if you listen to the chattering class.
Now miraculously a 10% unemployment rate is a recovery...



You really need to review the facts about the VA, for example, before you
make statements like this. Check out the person who's in charge of the VA.

There is a technical recovery in process. Jobs are still a problem and will
continue to be for quite a while. What's your point?
