[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] Ok, I just want to make sure you didn't mistype, Glass... [QUOTE]the goal is to put private insurance out of business Relentless...[/QUOTE]I'll assume that was meant for me. But do you honestly believe (as I do), that this literally was designed to put an entire sector of the PRIVATE industry out of business? If not, please explain. If so...think about that long and hard. [QUOTE]the "moral question" becomes this: should an insurance co be making a profit by only taking the profitable insurance customers anyway? [/QUOTE]YES!!! By all that's left of Capitalistism in our Society, YES!!! Up until now, health insurance has been a CHOICE. A choice of the end user to buy and a choice of the insurance company to ACCEPT the risk of insuring said end user. The buyer accepts the risk that they might never need the product and the company assumes the risk (willingly) that they may pay out more than they take in from said consumer. IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICE... This law is about taking BOTH those choices away. It WILL kill the industry and leave us with no choice but to be part of a single payer, government run system where they control everything. There is no other logical, alternative end to this if left as is, Glass. Sorry for the CAPS LOCK stuff, but I don't think some of our fellows that pushed this crap here( and most still do) understand this point. This absolutely will drive all of us onto a future version of Medicare\Medicaid. Everyone. On the taxpayers dime....Hello, Greece. [QUOTE]why have private insurance at all if the loss cases are paid for by tax payers? waht purpose do they serve? they are not cutting our costs, they are increasing them... our costs go up every year by leaps and bounds when people become stistically too old to be profitable insurance customers? we put htem on medicaid/medicare... when kids (AND AUDLTS) are too costly? we pay for them the same way.. [/QUOTE]We have them because they take care of SOME of the people, Glass. They were never intended to take care of ALL the people. They take some of the burden off of the taxpayer through private industry. Whatever part of the country IS covered(some 85%+) isn't on the taxpayers dime. That group is going to be adding to the tax burden when it the insurance co's aren't around anymore because this law ran them out of business. Do you really think we can bear that? [QUOTE]the law is a POS, but we already had a POS system anyway... [/QUOTE]You don't 'fix' a system by destroying it, Glass. This law doesn't address ANY of the cost driving factors in our medical system. Those same costs will be around (and increase) when we're all on the government system. :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
