It is a free country...if they want to raise their rates...let them. It will only hurt them in the end when people opt out and go with another company like Keiser. alexcrombie77 has a video that I think represents this country and what pushovers we are.

No. It costs *us* money.

This is a cost other countries with national health care don't have.

I was referring that Laissez-Faire enthusiasts say that our medical industry is fine and should stay free-market.

But there's nothing Free about the current market was my point.

[genghis6l99]

@PersonalJesus348 strawman argument. no-one said it's free. in australia we have a free health system. it works. free health for life bro.

You're living in a dream world. It wouldn't matter if the Dems had 95 Senators. There will never be health insurance reform because Obama and the Dems have all been bought off by the insurance lobby. That's why progressives are going to stay home this fall, and that's why the GOP will win back the House and Senate.
