McKee apparently is a fan of the free market competitive system that
isn't operative in the health care insurance industry.


Well, that's what I don't get... it seems to me that especially among
Republicans they would want a competitive system, even if there's only a
possibility of it, even if it meant that the insurance companies couldn't
compete and went belly up. That's the free market capitalistic system
defined. Eat or be eaten. Survival of the fittest. So, there must be some
other reason for the opposition, and I'd like one of these people to be
honest and say what it is.

We do not have major competion now, because of government regulation. How
do you think more governmental regulation will increase competition.

It certainly would not. You're not getting it. We need to have affordable
healthcare coverage for average people. There are two ways to do that. 1)
increase competition via a public option. 2) increase regulation so that
insurance companies can't deny people coverage for things like pre-existing
conditions.
