Doesn't the government always pick the lowest bidder, why should we trust them with our health care?

Question

Did you all see the bids from the defense contractors for the rebuilding of Iraq? No, so you don't know they weren't the lowest bidder. Don't always trust Chris Mathews.

Answer 1

No, they don't.  Ever hear of Haliburton?

Answer 2

No they don't. You will have 250 choices of insurance.

Answer 3

The government is too large to run a good health care program.  Talk to some Canadians and see how well they like to wait in line to have surgeries and procedures done.  Some of them go south to the US for their medical care!

Answer 4

Who told you the government always

picks the lowest bidder?

They pick the bidder who has the most

stock holders in governmental positions.

That's why they were willing to pay $800

for a toilet seat, $700 for a hammer and

other such economic nonsense.

But you are right about one thing...they

should not be trusted with our health care.

Answer 5

They might go with the lowest bid, but then they get burnt on the shipping costs.

Answer 6

Where ever did you get that idea?  No, they don't.  Proof:  Halliburton, Blackwater, KRG, etc.

Answer 7

No, the government doesn't always pick the lowest bidder.  If they needed an aircraft carrier, they aren't calling you to bid on it.  They vet the bidding and go with ones that are qualified.

The health insurance industry is broken and so is medical care.  I just don't think a government bureaucracy is the solution.  It would not be a competent system.

The next time you stand in line to buy a car tag, think that this could be your health care.  IncompetenceRUs.
