Can the government run healthcare better than us?

Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., who is co-chairman of the Middle Class Caucus, said that "leaving private insurance companies the job of controlling the costs of health care is like making a pyromaniac the fire chief."


"I think there will be a competitor to private insurers," Sebelius said. "That's really the essential part, is you don't turn over the whole new marketplace to private insurance companies and trust them to do the right thing."

My thoughts to those comments are as follows. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I would trust the private market place to do the right thing many times more than I would the government no matter whose running it, but especially now. They want the government in control of everything because they believe they can do better than us (the private marketplace). It goes to their elitits belief that they are better and smarter than us and they have no faith in Capitalism or the freemarket.

Would they manage healthcare the same way they have social security or the post office or even medicare? If so then we are all screwed. They mess up everything they touch. They end up being mismanaged, disorganized, rampent fraud in some cases, and overpriced. And you want these masters of organization and cost managment in charge of your healthcare? ARE YOU CRAZY??????

Think about it folks. Just think about it ok? Tort reform would be a much better start at healthcare reform than what they are doing. Thats just my two cents worth.
