But I don't think that the government is buying insurance from the private sector and then selling it to people.

Either the government has to start up a medical insurance company thats not in direct competition with the private insurance companies. Or they have to regulate insurance prices across the board or you get into anti-trust.


Either way, your dealing with an incredibly powerful corporate sector thats not really afraid of taking on the government.
