One of the problems cited for Obamacare is the public option, with the criticism being that a public insurance plan, with its subsidies, would drive private insurers out of business. Yesterday, on NPR, I heard a liberal advocate of this health care reform plan opine that the above argument is specious. His rationale was that our public post office competes against UPS and FedEx and they are in no danger in going out of business. Do you (or anyone else here) agree that these two cases are analogs, or do you see differences?
