Have you even researched or noticed how fast the private health care costs are rising? At the rates they are going....most private companies will probably NOT give anyone insurance due to the insurmountable expense.....and then, it will be too expensive for you to buy on your own either. Then you have none, and most people would have none....and the industry would collapse on itself...not a bright outlook.

With competition from the government, it would keep all of the costs in check. Just like UPS competing with USPS. No competition = prices rising uncontrolled.

Europeans have private health coverage options if they so choose or want to pay for it, but those private offerings must be relatively competitive with the government option in order to have anyone partake....

Private health care is an evil system anyways, profiting off of the sick? What could possibly justify that being ok?
