I said this on another thread on this board in regards to Sebelius' statements and i'll post it here.

Eventually Crowd-Out will happen no matter what. So private insurance will eventually be driven out of business because they wouldn't be able to compete and even though businesses get tax breaks from using private insurance...Common sense will say they will drop private insurance by having their workers on the government plan affecting the private market and resulting in crowd-out. Fine. So eventually the government entity will reighn supreme in the end. However, before the full on group of people join the government plan---it will inject major competition in the market and lower cost basically dismantling Big Pharma who will have to lower costs. In the end everyone wins EXCEPT private insurance.


Her approach was correct and she was on the ball. You have to think sensibly. Politics and the ficklness of the American people needs to be taken at hand...and it will lead to something very different which is similar to what is in England.
