Interesting that you choose as examples companies that have
nothing to do with any of the major issues confronting the
nation.  Is there some reason you don't mention United
Healthcare, Blue Cross, etc?

That argument is based on a fallacy.  No one is trying to change
the healthcare system into a "massive government program."
We are trying to regulate an industry that is wrecking the lives
of American citizens while destroying the economy.  We are
offering *an option*, for those who may choose if of their own
volition, to compete with what the ravenous insurance companies
offer.  We are trying to make insurance available and affordable
to people with pre-existing conditions and to those who get laid
off or whose employers are unable to help them.

Really?  Yet if you ask anyone who uses the Post Office if they
would prefer we shut it down and switch to FedEx or UPS,
they'll ask if you're nuts as they walk in and plunk their package
down on the counter.

Welfare is indeed in need of fixing.  We probably agree on more
about the problems of the welfare system than not.

Medicare?  Ask anyone receiving it if they would like it stopped.
The answer is universal -- no way.  There are holes in it that need
plugging and there is a lot of fraud.  So fix it.  Go after crooked
doctors and anyone else who abuses it.  Use the money saved to
help pay for the things we need to do.

That was not necessary. We disagree but both of us are being
polite to you.
