No. Corporations, especially monopolies are what is best for any marketplace. Businesses compete for both production and consumers. Corporations, especially monopolies, are the best at controlling production and consumption. So you end up with healthcare where you pay more and get less. Bribing government is just an easy step, but it’s not needed. But for a corporation, an easy step saves money compared to other means. But they’ll still monopolize whether government helps or not.

@net200910 Name some corporations that do business in the US without any government help. Show me some examples of long term monopolies without government aid.

You’re probably using it’s product right now. It’s called Windows. They wiped out so many companies simply by integrating competing products into Windows. Then there’s ebay. It uses its auction to push Paypal. And Walmart. If you live in a rural area, Walmart owns you. They will undercut your prices simply because they’re able to take losses in one one Walmart store if they make up for it in another. So they can squeeze you out of business, then become the only seller in town.

@net200910 I guess you didn’t understand my question. I said WITHOUT government help. Walmart – est $1 billion in taxpayer money. Paypal is a more complex case, but it’s not a monopoly, because obviously a consumer has many choices, including not using paypal at all.If Walmart charges low low prices, that doesn’t qualify as an evil monopoly, that’s a good thing for consumers. And the fact is even the mere threat of competition keeps them on their toes. Long term monopoly myth.

What about Microsoft? You skipped them? Aren’t they a monopoly? You want to purchase a new computer, you get Windows. You want something else, you better build your own. A monopoly isn’t evil. Corporations are not evil. Companies want to make the most money possible. The belief that profit is evil is ridiculous. What I’m saying is that corporations do not have consumers in mind as their best interest.

Please get off the evil kick. Nothing is evil. Corporations want to make as much profit as possible, and bribing government to make laws for them saves them alot of money and time. But if they could not do that, they would still monopolize the competition, just slower. Like Microsoft. Walmart is doing it the slow way. AT&T is doing it too right now. Don’t think that just because you benefit right now, it’s always going to be that way. The cost of Health insurance says otherwise.

with medicare being a government owned and not allowed to reject service to people with the health care reform bill, i say let these other stupid insurnece companies raise their premiums , that in return would get people to switch to medicare, and with everyone on medicare, you might aswell bill it as universal health care

@megagagnon1

Not really. In a market where the government doesn’t regulate. You would just have companies like Standard oil,Bell telephone monopoly,etc. All they had to do was buy out competition and eliminate any other competition.

@jxsilicon9 There’s no market in the US that the government doesn’t regulate. And the bell telephone monopoly only happened because of the government, just after ww2 ended. Standard oil? Very efficiently run company that halved the price of oil – great for consumers. But without government help, even their “monopoly” would’ve been temporary – if they arbitrarily decided to raise rates, new competition would emerge.
