Well, if I could figure out which "Pat&...Pat,<br /><br />Well, if I could figure out which "Pat" you were, it would be worth my time to try to quote you. There were, what, five of you in one thread? It's cute, but I quote you, you claim "that wasn't me" - it just isn't worth my time.<br /><br />But, that aside, if that's not it, why <i>do</i> you (whichever of you) oppose a public option? Because you don't want the American people to be able to afford insurance?<br /><br />Benjy,<br /><br />Why would the Post Office (which has always charged less than it actually costs to mail things, because that's what the American people want) not have cash-flow problems? Trust me, no other country subsidizes their Post Office to our extent. So when the subsidies go down, they need more cash. If they charged an amount that reflects the real cost, those problems would go away.<br /><br />But consider the public outcry whenever they raise the price of a stamp one cent. It's a fight they can't win.<br /><br />But why would those problems then immediately transfer to the healthcare industry? Are you saying that every other industrialized nation's healthcare sucks and is failing? Really?<br /><br />You're saying that America can't do something that every other major player in the world market can do, for less and better? We're not up to the task?<br /><br />Why do you hate America?Nameless Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963921060024737712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-51055494073785658082009-09-10T12:21:18.627-06:002009-09-10T12:21:18.627-06:00And for a similar reason, wouldn't this exampl...And for a similar reason, wouldn't this example of the U.S. Post Office's economic woes point to the fact that government run health care would be destined to fail?<br /><br />Dr. Benjamin Franklin PussAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-66487290946056953552009-09-09T21:50:36.842-06:002009-09-09T21:50:36.842-06:00Not sure where I made the "claim that private...Not sure where I made the "claim that private insurers will go out of business if there's a public option". <br /><br />Tell you what, do your research and provide the quote where I said that, then we can talk further.<br /><br />Pat RiotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984086.post-30189561290956613932009-09-02T23:52:23.948-06:002009-09-02T23:52:23.948-06:00Yes, he did.
