Real talk: we need a public option to compete with private options, but it should not be all national or all private.

The reason is that corporations will have a tendency to drive prices up, while the government will have a tendency to cut costs.

See: Canada Post, how it regulates the shipping and mail market, and how disabling it or shutting it down will be terrible for pricing and availability.
