Why do I feel like a King Arthur being asked about the air speed velocity of laden swallows?

You're right. Bad analogy. Our customers can take their business elsewhere if they choose. With Obamacare, you still have to pay even if you choose not to buy the product. And if we lose customers we loose money. With the government, I can't help but notice that they will still be accepting taxes even when they're shut down.

Private companies will come and go as virtually all of them are built on the shifting sands of the "free market"...........
Rest assured, for better or worse, we will always have the government.
