The insurance companies are claiming that a public option that would make insurance available to everyone and inject competition into the marketplace would put them out of business. Well, if a few fat, weak, poorly run insurance companies have to fail, so be it. The US government should not financially support insurance companies by withholding health care from citizens and preventing competition just so a poorly run insurance company doesn't fail. 80% of all new businesses fail in this country due to the competitiveness of the marketplace. Failing businesses are as natural a part of this economy as the dime or nickel. That's the natural consequence of competition - adapt or die. The government should not only let the fat, poorly run insurance businesses fail, but it should help make it happen.

Why can't we have at least as good of health care as we give our elected representatives. Supposedly they are our public servants not the other way around.
