Why government option will destroy private health insurance industry

Government programs are inefficient and lose money consistently (think Postal Service, Amtrak, etc.). Government run health insurance plan will be no different. In order to provide more for less (as Obama is promising), they will have to offer low prices and will definitely operate at a deficit. Once the plan is instituted though, nobody will ever cancel it. Therefore, it will absolutely be subsidized, despite what Obama says. Once it is subsidized, kiss "choice and competition" goodbye.

It was never about choice and competition. It is all about power and making people dependant on the government.
