A few more points: 1. Fedex sets its own rates. Under the healthcare bill, "private" insurers would be forced to charge and cover what is mandated in the regulations for a Qualifying Health Exchange. Would the charges and the coverage allow them to stay in business at all? Who knows? Most of the sponsors of this bill would rather they didn't. 2. Fedex hires its own workers and controls its own labor costs. Not true for insurers, esp. when the doctors they must pay are desperate to shift costs onto them because the government underpays. 3. Comparing the government option to the Post Office is exactly what opponents of Obamacare have been doing. The Post Office gives mediocre service and is losing $7 Billion this year. So why is Obama doing it?
