That was pretty good.
I was thinking about this the other day. I go to the public library, but it doesn't kill off the private book stores. I use over-the-air HD TV (that is better quality than cable or satellite) that is free to the public once they buy a few pieces of equipment (and even the basic digital boxes were subsidized), yet the majority of people pay for cable/satellite. I use free internet access points, yet most computer-savvy people have high-speed at home. I listen to public radio and other commercial radio that is broadcast instead of owning CDs/mp3s. I use the post office to mail packages when they are cheaper than UPS or FED EX, but that doesn't happen very often for big things.
The free 'public' options just make the private businesses provide a better service to the customer, or they will be replaced. It's just that the insurance cartel won't have a monopoly on things anymore.
