3. allocation of resources in a private enterprise will better satisfy consumer demands, while government enterprise will distort allocations and introduce islands of calculational chaos; if they can't afford a car to get to the emergency room, then it doesn't count as consumer demand! just make sure the bus routes stop atleast 2 blocks away and we're golden!
4. government ownership will repress private activity in noncompeting as well as competing firms; Keep plugging this one! Ignore the idea that private firms would still be offering gold-plated packages which easily recoup and justify the drive for existing and future medical technologies!
5. private ownership insures the harmonious and co-operative satisfaction of desires, while government ownership creates caste conflict. hellz yeah I just got off the phone with my girl @ Kaiser and the way she and my UHC rep denied coverage for my cancer drugs & treatment was totally harmonious and cooperative! have you seen all those medicare gangs roaming the streets? yeah baby caste conflict!
