he doesn't understand supply and demand jack. The only way the govt. would become the sole provider of healthcare in this country is if they were just so damned good that nobody demanded anything better and therefore there was no market for private insurance. I'm a supporter of some nationalized form of healthcare but I'm naive enough to think the govt. can run the entire country's healthcare. Rest assured wealthy people like plunkey would be keeping their private insurance. This all just more hyperbole from a man who cannot exist in between the extreme poles of rational thought processing. He claims the govt. would in effect stack the market in their favor and eliminate competition yet he's the one barking that govt. does absolutely nothing right. So my question is, if you think that...why would you than transfer your policy to the govt.'s? The obvious answer is he wouldn't, and there would be plenty more folks just like him that would create a "demand" for better higher priced private insurance. If I were a private insurer wouldn't I be ecstatic over the prospect of shedding the lower spectrum of health care buyers who have notoriously unhealthier lifestyles and can't pay their bills on time.....??? I dunno, healthcare ain't my field so I could very well be missing something. But the chicken little deathpanels are imminent bullshit has just got to stop.
