Barfag and jaichind, you could at least read shua's post if not the article. It failed due to insurance lobbyist interference and sequester, not BIG GUBMENT SOCIALIST EXPERIMENT ALWAYS FAILS.
That was not what I was trying to communicate. Yes, big government socialism experiment always fails. But big government xxxism experiment also always fails. In this case this all I am pointing out is that big government fails because it lacks the profit motive will waste resources across the board. In this case the monster is devouring its own children with health insurance corporations using its lobbying power get big government to crush co-ops with paperworks just like big government does to everyone else as it substracts value from the economy. That these co-ops which also lack a profit motive ergo are doomed to fail is secondary as it did not even have a chance to start given all the paperwork it has to put up with.
