Just when you thought that the Obama administration favored competition here is your look under the hood of what it will look like. Again, if you oppose Obamacare you are evil and should fail. Insurance companies sat at the table with Obama and initially threw their support behind the bill. But the more the insurance companies have come to understand that either way they see the inevitable. So their choice has become: fight or be thrown to the slaughter. Amazing that there are people out there who believe that this administration believes in the free markets and competition. Ask yourself, if this administration wants to bring costs down for health care don't you think they would immediately: 1) allow for insurance co's to compete across state lines, 2) remove regulation that sets minimum mandates/standards for what an insurance company must offer and instead give the Person the ability to pick and choose a program that caters to them, 3) put an immediate cap on lawsuits and force any frivolous lawsuits to be paid for by the plaintiff, and 4) health savings accounts (what Bush and repubs wanted back in 2004) that go with you from job to job as this will make the consumer more cognizant of their health expenses.
Let's start with what the actual problems are and fix those before we just give the privilege of health care to all those who need it. Again, this country has quickly become an entitlement nation whereby the needs of the recipient outweigh the rights of the provider.
