It 'gravels' me, to this day, to
put my will in the weak shape
of a request instead of
launching it in the crisp
language of an order.

| IF YOU BELIEVE A PUBLIC OPTION IN HEALTH CARE IS WRONG THEN YOU MUST BELIEVE........ |
If you believe that a public option in health reform would drive private insurers
out of business, then you must believe the following:
If you agree that private health insurers will be driven out of business if there is
a public option in health insurance then I’m sure you would also support
legislation to:
I’m sure you will also support the following legislation to free the private sector
from government competition:
The argument that private insurers could not compete with a public option is
absurd. They will just have to work harder to improve quality, cut costs, and
provide a higher level of service to their policy holders. That’s the point of
having a public option, to make private insurers compete and improve their
performance. And, yes, if some private insurers don’t work harder to compete
then they will go out of business. But, that is the American way. Come on
Republicans. What’s wrong with a little competition.
out of business, then you must believe the following:
- If we allow a public option in education (public schools and universities),
then all private schools, colleges and universities will be driven out of
business. We do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option in security (police forces), then all private
security companies will be driven out of business. We do and they
haven't been. - If we allow a public option in shipping (U.S. Postal Service), then UPS,
FedEx and other shipping companies will be driven out of business. We
do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option on travel (Amtrak), then private airline and bus
companies will be driven out of business. We do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option in recreation (the national parks, state parks,
city parks), then Disney and other private theme park operators will be
driven out of business. We do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option in the book business (libraries), then Barnes
and Noble and other private books sellers will be driven out of business.
We do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option in retirement savings (Social Security), then
Vanguard and private retirement plan providers will be driven out of
business. We do and they haven’t been. - If we allow a public option in operating museums ( the Smithsonian,
Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc), then all private museums will be driven
out of business. We do and they haven’t been.
If you agree that private health insurers will be driven out of business if there is
a public option in health insurance then I’m sure you would also support
legislation to:
- Abolish public schools and public universities.
- Make it illegal for any county, city or state to have a police force.
- Abolish Amtrak.
- Sell off all national, state and local parks to private companies.
- Make it illegal for a city or county to operate a public library.
- Abolish Social Security
- Sell off all public museums to private companies.
I’m sure you will also support the following legislation to free the private sector
from government competition:
- Abolish Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Health Administration.
- Abolish government funding of scientific research.
- Sell all interstate highways to private investors to turn them into
privately owned toll roads. - Sell all bridges to private investors who would charge for their use.
- Sell all public airports to private investors or the airlines.
- Make it illegal for any government to own a building or piece of property—
Require all government agencies to rent space from private companies. - Abolish the Department of Defense, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps
and contract with private mercenary companies for national defense. - Sell NASA to publicly traded aerospace companies such as Boeing.
- Make it illegal for any government to operate a public hospital.
