“If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they’re offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can’t run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That’s not logical. They should be able to compete.” -Obama

Seriously. If the government cannot run anything well according to those against public healthcare plans, then how are those very same people worried that this poorly run system will be too much competition for the private insurers. The argument seems convoluted and doesn’t pass a simple logic test. Will someone please explain to me how this argument works or why it is legitimate?
