First we have to …
First we have to recognize that health Ins. is a right not a privilege. I believe the most efficient and least expensive way for society to buy health insurance is to have the community purchase it in a competitive environment. Competition assures high quality service at low prices. The Community assures stability and security for this important need since it is the lowest stable-buying unit. It also offers prudence and frugality to the purchasing decision since it is very a conservative buyer.

that’s true, and …
that’s true, and only fools deny that. however, the only way for the healthcare industry to succeed is to keep it private. that’s what i believe. it has to be done right though.

In our society, …
In our society, there exists a very unfair situation. There are many groups of employees who have no coverage at all. They’re found working very hard in diners, restaurants, manufacturing shops, retail stores. I know that these people work hard for their money. They often work long hours at low wages. Should they own a home and should a family member contract a serious illness, the regrettable fact is that they could lose all their property to medical expenses. Is this what society endorses?

mega, I think you …
mega, I think you meant moron, but having said that, the government led by the GOP for the last 8 years less the last 2 have not open the market across state lines. They are pocketing big money from the Insurance Lobbyist’s. Therefore, Insurance Companies have monopolized each state. I think leftists don’t fail to see the failed politics of the last 8 years. I say open it up as well and let’s get changing the system, it’s really broke. Health should not be a profit making business.

There is a medical breakthrough. Eat only raw uncooked fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains.

Charity should be a …
Charity should be a NON-profit enterprise. Capitalism is where survival of the fittest is proven in the work place. Technology improves in a free market of ideas where improvement is rewarded. The United states currently produces many of he worlds medical breakthroughs. I’ll take my medical breakthroughs in a Darwinian economy. And please, before bragging of your Mensa status, do a grammar and spell check.

Agian, Healthcare …
Agian, Healthcare should not be a for profit captialist enterprise. No, it should be a none profit center with government regualated wages. Don’t like the wage move to another country. this is what all other capitalistic businesses tell their employees ! ! ! Oh yea, I have been a member of mensa for over 50 years with an IQ of 163.

wow, you are a …
wow, you are a moran. costs are high because the government has made competition illegal and therefore insurance companies only have to compete in there own state. if this law were to be terminated, the entire country would be open for competition, and anyone who would want to stay in business would HAVE to lower their costs. this is something that you pathetic leftists fail to see.

Dear moron: The …
Dear moron: The health insurance industry rarely gets more than 4% profit per quarter. They lose money 1/4 of the time. The one of the highest ever years was 7% profit by cigna in 2006. This information is publicly available. You can check yourself (though you probably wont).

Health insurance costs a lot, but they SPEND IT ALL.

If you have a problem with inefficient health insurance, simply allow them to compete over state lines.
