Self defeating argument
Sometimes you have to wonder if the Magic Marxist's foot permanently resides in his mouth.
So let me get this straight. Privately run FedEx and UPS are "doing just fine," and the government-run post office is "always having problems." Ergo, the government should be allowed to run health care?
Right.
Here's my other issue. The government still aims to regulate insurance companies by telling them what they can and cannot do as far as coverage. Does anyone really expect that these regulations will be in any way more profitable for the insurance companies? My fear is simple: the government will regulate the private companies out of existence, and those who remain will be forced to provide coverage dictated by politicians. In order to make a profit, they will have to charge more, making private insurance cost-prohibitive to most Americans, thereby forcing them to participate in the government program.
Ta-dah!
Government takeover of the health insurance industry!
Does anyone really think this is unrealistic?

This has been my thinking fro the get-go. Obama even said, at the outset of this socialist assault on free enterprise, that the private carriers will eventually go out of business. If your employer is giving you health care, it won't make business sense tocontinue with a private carrier if the gov't is going to fine them for not being on the Obamacare wagon, so they'll jump right on. At the very least, if you keep your own health care, you will pay for two policies: the one you want and Obamacare. You won't be allowed to opt out of the increased taxes needed to pay for this powr grab.

They won't force us into the govt plan directly. They'll just make the private insurance options disappear so that we won't have any other choice.
