The government option cannot "outcompete" because it doesn't play by the same rules, it literally makes them up as it goes along. Just like Fannie, Freddie, medicare, Amtrak and the post office.

OK, so your position is that the government will run things badly, like the post office. In which case you agree with Obama's intended point that the post office has not driven UPS or Fedex out of business. In which case the repeated suggestion that a government-run system will wipe our insurers and reduce choice is a boogeyman. Great. Hopefully we won't hear that one again.

Why should I limit my focus to the current plans? They are awful and go in exactly the wrong direction for true reform. All 3 plans advocate some form of governmental expansion into health care. I want the exact opposite and have posted a couple alternative proposals.

Logic requires a plan to be assessed on its merits. Otherwise you risk saying "I hate Chrysler vehicles!" and if Chrysler produces a vehicle that is perfect for you, you are so busy saying "I hate Chrysler!" that your prejudice causes you to miss out.
