Social Media, technology, and geeky stuff for your brain.
It is never a good thing when many companies in a single industry start merging together (especially if it starts to become rampant). It limits choice, and limited choice is always bad for the consumer.
That's why an all government provided health care system is detrimental. It reduces choice to one (and it's a choice run by the government who isn't known for running cost efficient, smooth, or consumer friendly anything).
Except that it works in every other first world country on the globe.

But it not really working. It's functioning, just so long as you don't need to actually use it.
Not according to ever person who lives in another country that's also lived here that I've talked to.

Everyone is going to have different sources, I realize that. The sources I have (friends in Canada, and relatives in Great Brittan), say it's great, because everyone has available coverage, but you might just expire if you have to use it (unless you are rich enough to pay cash at private facilities. So, again, you get to keep living if you have the bucks, just like before).
lol… and that's different from what we have now how?

One difference. In the Government run plan, those of us in the middle who were able to fall into the 'have enough money to afford to keep living' group, now fall into the 'get in line 'till you die waiting' group. That's all, the group getting the shaft is bigger (much bigger).
