Policy matters

[Kill Dat Noize]

Not what I said, nice try though. There's 10s of millions of people with pre existing conditions that they could have potentially denied for the smallest issues just to "save profits."

Not even to mention the fact that they bring in billions upon billions of dollars, Obamacare or not.

a health insurance company, like any company, should be in business to make a profit.

in a truly free market, the only thing that could stop an insurance company from getting too greedy is competition from other insurance companies.

what else do you want done?

Or create a monopoly on people's health with back breaking costs. Either way the hand will guide it

i'm all for a free market with regulations.

the problem is when you over-regulate.

Ah, yes the old carrot and stick of competition in the free market.

what is the alternative to the free market? government control?

You're welcome to gloss through wiki and checkout all the lovely things corporations have brought us from economic to environmental when there is a lack of regulation and or profit motive reigns over all.

again i am for regulations. there need to be rules and minimum standards.

both extremes are bad.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

What an empty statement.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

What an empty statement.

wtf are you talking about?

a world where the private sector was free to do whatever it wished is just as bad as a world where everything was under government control. either way you are being subjugated.

Corporations aren't people no matter what the right says. They're built to squeeze every penny and when you infuse that into health care you get to the point where everyone is potentially "high risk."


Yes, lord free market will save us all!

"Corporations are people" is a tax classificstoon /legal fiction. I dont why people continue to say this.

Single-payer system please

People's health should not be left to the dictates of corporate interests or whims.
