Interesting way that the Times covers this story. A government owned business wants to keep competition out and create a monopoly. They ask politicians to maintain that monopoly by passing a law protecting them over others.
The politicians, thinking they can buy some votes, say "yes"
Citizens buy in because they're scared that they may lose this "valuable" service.
We sell our rights out and then what is left?
Governments have no more right to a monopoly than Rockefeller did. You bet our county commissioners backed down ... even if they wanted free, and frankly foolish, votes ... they were going to lose. It's wrong!
Mr. Harper, take some of that welfare money that you're handing out by the pocket full, and give that to the hospital you're running so poorly. They could use some corporate welfare.
