“UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.” -- Barack Obama, Aug. 11, 2009

The free market has created, through private investment and competition, companies with which the government run system cannot compete.
So let me get this straight; our healthcare system will work better when micro-managed by insurance companies and the government; well, really just the government because private insurance won't be able to compete. Based on the available evidence, that sounds about right. Just like the Post Office.
Didn't the head of the Post Office just get some kind of huge bonus this year?
Lawmakers also raised questions regarding recent news reports that Potter is paid as much as $800,000 a year. That is not correct, Potter said. He said his salary, set by Congress, is $263,575. He said the news reports were counting his retirement fund, the cost of his security detail and a $135,000 bonus that would be paid over 10years after he retires.

Good thing for the taxpayers that his retirement fund, security detail and bonus aren't paid with real money. It's just an illusion.
