1. A government monopoly on health care is bound to be run at no better a track record than it's best-run monopoly currently in existence...the United States Post Office.
2. Monopolies stifle growth, innovation and advancement. Future improvements in health care will drastically slow down.
3. Tens of thousands of employees with longevity, benefits and retirement plans would be thrown out of work in the private health care industry.
4. The costs of planning, establishing and training in the vast new system will be enormous and are not being considered in the plans to establish a new $1.6 trillion national system.
5. Stockholders in insurance companies, hospital corporations and pharmaceutical companies will lose their investments.
These are just five immediate ramifications of a monopolized single-source government-run health-care system. Undoubtedly, there are many more.
The point is... They seem to be bound and determined to cram this down our throats without open discussion and consideration of what we are doing. This is akin to being on a new car lot, blindfolded, holding a fistful of someone else's money, and being told to buy, buy, buy.
Frankly, I'd much prefer to build a bridge to nowhere in Alaska. At least, I would know what I was getting for my money.
