At least now, private sector insurers have an opportunity to bid to provide this work. There is competition. Now, maybe some school districts don't work as hard as they should to solicit bids, etc, but that's not a good reason to rush into a government run program, which is likely to be less efficient than one run under competition and free enterprise.

If this goes through, what's next? Government run workers comp programs, taking business opportunities away from those insurers? Government run property and casualty insurance, hurting our state insurers such as Auto Owners and Citizens?

Let's see what the insurance industry -- which is doing a pretty good job providing good products in health care, despite the rhetoric -- says about this proposal before jumping on Dillon's bandwagon.
