Why does health insurance co's want capitalism only when it comes to squashing competition?

how can health insurance co's refuse to compete with public option? aren't these people free market saints?
--------------------
You need to take a couple of economics classes. And stop drinking the kool aid. The 'public option' will require taxpayer subsidies and even then will have a difficult time attracting health providers to sign up with it. If you were in the healthcare indusrty - would you rather accept patients who are on private healthcare plans where you can negotiate rates and fees - or a public plan where the government pays you what they feel like paying?
