Your vaunted "healthcare industry" is one dominated by insurance companies which are parasitic in nature. Why support a system of such entities which, as nothing more than middlemen, just scrape off huge profits for themselves, making healthcare more expensive, while denying or dropping customers as they see fit? Remember - you favor deregulation of these industries, correct? If not correct let me know, but this is the corporate RW view.
Why do right-wingers oppose a public option system which provies some competition for these companies? Conservative preach about the "righteousness" of marketplace competition, so why would any right-winger fear it?
Another one for you to answer.
I don't know what any "right winger" fears but I fear anything run by the government. It all turns into one giant clusterf***. Scraping off huge profits for themselves? LOL. Your wonderful government produces nothing and scrapes every penny they can from every American every time they walk out the door to fund the madness they continue to hoist upon the masses.

Actually, Medicare is well run. And it is good insurance. With much less overhead than the private health insurance companies.
As far as the madness is concerned, Iraq is over . And Afghanistan is drawing to a close.
This is what reform is about. If you don’t have health insurance, you will finally have quality, affordable options once we pass reform. If you have health insurance, we will make sure that no insurance company or government bureaucrat gets between you and the care you need. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. You will not be waiting in any lines. This is not about putting the government in charge of your health insurance. I don’t believe anyone should be in charge of your health care decisions but you and your doctor — not government bureaucrats, not insurance companies.
Yep, there is. And you don't have to look further than the current governor of Florida to confirm that.
" Rick Scott, who ran a company involved in the nation's largest Medicare fraud case, wants to be Florida's governor
It was and still is the biggest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history and ended with the hospital giant Columbia/HCA paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, penalties and damages.
Now the man who ran the company at the time wants to be Florida's governor.
Rick Scott was co-founder and CEO of Columbia/HCA in the 1990s, when the FBI launched a massive, multi-state investigation that led to the company pleading guilty to criminal charges of overbilling the government. ".

Nothing but a hissy-fit with zero explanation as usual. Stop using the infrastructure then!!
Here's an idea, explain how corporate roads and bridges would be better. You are very big on outbursts of temper but light on answers and explanations.
Medicare fraud is perpetrated against medicare and taxpayers by unscrupulous private practitioners, not vice versa, and it needs regulation and oversight - just as your article reveals. Exactly what it is supposed to do!
Medicare monitors fraudulent practices against it the same as private insurers do.
You still haven't explained the fascist objection to the public option, and as I suspected, you never will.
