William says, "Let the government compete!"

I am sick and tired of all the doomsayers out there. I don't know how many Facebook status updates I read in the last two days that warned of the impending doom because the House passed the Health Care Reform Bill. Additionally, I keep hearing people over and over again warning of the disasters of the government sticking its nose into the private sector and destroying the free market. In answer to this, I cite an example of the government's involvement in one highly competitive segment of the private sector: package delivery. Despite all the competition out there, the USPS remains highly competitive, keeps other companies' prices honest, and manages to stand as the sole government organization that operates in the black. Yet the doomsayers persist, and not only that, they are actually badmouthing the men and women who struggle to provide for their families yet cannot afford health coverage.
Are people really that ignorant? Is it really such a bad thing to provide a way for people to have health insurance or to make the care that they need affordable? One person I know said,

"To those who read this and think I am insensitive, All I can say is there is a group for you. It is the GOYA group! Stands for get off your a$$. I made it happen for me and my wife so I'm sure IF and that is a big IF you have a will you can find a way..."

What the heck is all that supposed to mean? Is this person really suggesting that people without health insurance don't have it because they're lazy? I know so many people who are off their a$$es and probably working harder than this person just to make ends meet. Now, how are they supposed to pay for insurance on top of that? Again, I am so sick of the ignorant, ridiculous, and heartless arguments against taking care of our fellow men and women. As for me, I AM my brother's keeper.
