This is point two:
National health care will “increase competition and keep insurance companies honest” — as President Barack Obama has said. *** Government-provided health care isn’t a competitor; it’s a monopoly product paid for by the taxpayer. Consumers may be able to “choose” whether they take the service — at least at first — but every single one of us will be forced to buy it, under penalty of prison for tax evasion. It’s like a new cable plan with a “yes” box, but no “no” box. *** Obama himself compared national health care to the post office — immediately conjuring images of a highly efficient and consumer-friendly work force — which, like so many consumer-friendly shops, is closed by 2 p.m. on Saturdays, all Sundays and every conceivable holiday. *** But what most people don’t know — including the president, apparently — with certain narrow exceptions, competing with the post office is prohibited by law.
