[QUOTE="audiolife, post: 6275562, member: 541383"] Employers would drop private because the fines are cheaper than the private option (made so via the government remember they make the rules) John Stossel's Take Commentary from Co-Anchor of ABC News' "20/20" Public Option Express 08/21/2009 11:00 AM "Tuesday night, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) told CNN’s Larry King that a government-run health insurance option would run like the post office. Jackson thinks that’s a good thing. He told King: Look at it this way: There's Federal Express, there's UPS, and there's DHL … The public option is a stamp; it's email. And because of the email system, because of the post office, it keeps DHL from charging $100 for an overnight letter, or UPS from charging $100 for an overnight letter. Hello? Fedex, UPS an DHL exist only because the post office is such a failure. The Post Office executives said it was impossible to get it there overnight, guaranteed. Then private competitors proved them wrong. Email? Did Congress invent email? I missed that. As I’ve blogged before, Jackson’s public option – like the USPS – would be just another taxpayer-subsidized government failure. The reason DHL and UPS don’t charge $100 for an overnighter is because, if they did, they would lose all their business to each other, or other competitors – not because the post office offers a “public option.” The USPS is massively inefficient. Like the “public option,” the USPS was supposed to break even. It doesn’t. It loses billions of dollars per year. It loses money even though it has a monopoly on regular postal service, tax breaks, exemptions from parking tickets, and more. Governments are so incompetent they even manage to lose money running Off-Track Betting. But somehow a “public” insurance company would be efficient, offer a better alternative, and wouldn’t demand (and get) taxpayer subsidies? Give me a break."
