Those are things that either no one else wants to do (deliver the mail), or should do (soldiers, or again, delivering the mail), for reasons of national security. You think health insurers are bad, they are nothing compared to the likes of Blackwater/Xe, in terms of how horribly they abuse the public trust. These things are not in the same universe as health insurers.

 

 

Um, sure, OK.

Or this...

 

 

Maybe we could have more military companies running around, that is a great idea! Its not like the military and health care have anything in common.

13 fellow Dems just gave Reid the finger on budget gimmickry. Is that a word? fits the subject. Oh well...

No Nukes!! How dare they. I guess thats just life in Maoist America.

nukes were the center piece to my private sector army business

They'll send day to day mail too. They just won't do it below cost.

Rape: a pre-existing condition.

Some of these rejections are just grotesquely, morally wrong. This is where Congress SHOULD step in, at almost no cost to taxpayers, and write a law specifically just addressing pre-existing conditions and insurance rejections for such.

 

Pre-existing conditions is one of those things pretty much every sane person agrees on.

This comparison is totally not the same. I have seen you use it over and over, and frankly, it's a leap that's illogical. And I do have some experiences in this area.

All three deliver mail. They all have different business models.

No one viably competes with the USPS, for many reasons. But if some private company wanted to give it a shot, then, great. Just not going to happen, though.

 

And as far as I am concerned, the USPS' business model is nonsensical, but I've described that here before.

Because, it should be pointed out, that mail communications should be considered a service provided by a functioning government and not a business model, IMHO.

Oh I agree with that. Its also why I do not think the USPS should be in the business of competing with UPS and FedEx in the areas where they do viable business - the USPS should not have to spend gobs of money on marketing and advertising, which ultimately leads to them running profits, then pouring profits into growing the agency, then losing money and going to the tax till to pick up the slack. It makes no sense for them to do that.

 

The follow up argument is going to be: health insurance for its citizens should be considered a service provided by a functioning government and not a business model

I think that sentence should only apply to situations where private business is not realistically possible (delivering the regular mail), or where national security is concerned (military).

 

And the follow up argument to that would be: look at what private insurance companies give us. Its not realistic.

I feel like I'm arguing with someone holding up one of those picture face masks, and the mask is of Balta, but you are the one holding it.
