An observation

[DJD]

Today I had to go ship a small package to my Mom in Florida so I figured I'll just send it via US postal Service since i want to do my part to help the economy and the failing postal service.

Anyway it's 2pm and there are two S-L-O-W people working the counter and 10 people in line standing there with scowls on their face. I wondered is this what gubment run healthcare will be like? Standing in line waiting for my turn to be served by those happy gubment employees?

Frankly, it scared the hell out of me....

Conversely, I could have shipped it via a private company that would pick it up at my office. Hustle like they understand they have work to do and been done with it. They also understand that I have options and if they slack off they won't survive.

And that, among other things, is why private sector, free market, and competition is GOOD. Of course, there are bad apples in the private sector too, but that's part of it...you have the choice to shop, choose those that take care of your needs best...survival of the fittest.
