Pity the poor insurance companies

[beancube2008]

Real conservative want single payer program while improving this Public Option Health Care Reform. Don't drag it for too long. They graped all technologies under their foreign investment names just like our military technologies under NATO Allies.

What do insurance companies bring to the table?

Well, they are way for people to hedge risk in the event of unexpected health care costs. If they are not providing anything of value then why do so many people use them?

Also, you think a government run program will not be burdened by administrative overhead? A private company has in incentive to continuously make it more efficent to save costs. The government has no such incentive. Lastly, if the profit upsets you that much join a co-op.

You seem to assume having health care actually means the company will actually pay your medical bills, when they do everything they can to not pay. The more they pay out, the less profit they make. Not to mention, once you do get sick, you now have a Pre-Existing Condition, which is why I can't get health insurance, despite trying 8 different companies.

France, England, and Canda all have universal Health Care systems and all of them are much more efficient then our own system.

[beancube2008]

What are the penalties to the insurance company dropping customers when they cost too much?

Hebrew can't define real god. The language is too Jewish.

Insurance industry aren't for penalties, so isn't the Public Option.

When was the penalty being put in our Public Option Health Care Reform?

What does it mean competition while in the outset they both are beating up their prospectives?

We have to battle on this Jewish philosophy for the bill to pass.

Republicans have suggested breaking up the monopolies, letting people buy insurance across state lines. That is hardly rallying to insurance company defense. Yet, that is ignored. Republicans have also said that reform was needed, it is just gov. run health care insurance reform that is not. Why? Because gov. has no credibility. What has the gov. handled that hasn't been riddled with fraud & abuse?

People who have been watching this debate know what each side is saying. Thank you very much!

[greycloud24]

yeah, we need to privatize the military while we are at it. think of all the money that the government wastes on the defense budget when private companies could do it more efficiently. and the police as well, the government only screws stuff up.

[dangerouslytalented]

Look at Halliburton and Blackwater (now Xe). Already done.

[Adlershof]

What is handled with fraud & abuse is the private sector. Does the name Rupert Murdock say something to you? Goverment has no credibility? Really? Why don't you compare Wall Street with NASA? What is more reliable? You are like the fat lady at the end of the video, you are totally indoctrinated. Try to think for yourself for a change

[CentrlFlagrl]

I can think for myself, don't need the media, gov. or Wall Street to think for me. Nor am I a one party thinker.

When you get caught in lies & corruption it does tend to ruin your credibility, both parties.

I'm just saying, if you listen to both sides, Mr. Smart is not being truthful for the reasons I posted.

No, unlike the fat lady, I have never been w/out insur. yet, I would be subsidized if these bills passed. Guess what, I don't want/need gov. taking care of me, it's not their job.

[dangerouslytalented]

Actually, letting people buy across state lines will allow the BIG companies the power to usurp state laws.

[Raizhen010]

You're right. After all, which state regulation applies? The republicans want it to be the provider's state, which will make all the insurance companies set up in low regulation states like Texas.

[megagrey]

Go whoever's playing against the Yankees.

Go Phillies!

[quinnmcguee]

Yeah, we can't have the government competing with private, for profit, companies. Let's shut down the public schools and the post office right now!

[zeroepyon]

Boo Phillies!
