Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?

Insurance companies have admitted before Congress to the practice of looking for loopholes to get out of paying as soon as a claim comes in. They will drop any payer if possible, leaving them without coverage, and keep all the money paid in for insurance they couldn't count on.



Is this really the best way to manage healthcare?Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?Only an idiot would.Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?
No. It's criminal.Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?Because the alternative would be trusting politicians.
Well, it's better than a rationed government program.Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?Insurance companies are still a better, more efficient, and fairer deal than you would get from the federal government bureaucrats. Besides, we go to the doctor for medical attention, not the insurance company, which only helps me pay for it.Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?
Did you see a 1980's documentary?



29 years makes a huge difference...the courts (and the juries) know the tricks and aren't entertained by them.
I just love it when a for-profit insurance accountant decides who will live and who will die.Why do you trust for-profit companies with your children's health?
Yes, insurance companies are a rip off. I am not 100% for Obama's healt care plan because some of it is a bit far out but if congressmen would sit down and work on it together, it could work well for all. To bad this will never happen.
I don't trust for-profit insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, law firms, doctors, hospitals, nursing homes or any other 'big business' that profits from other people's miseries.

These companies should either be shut down - or turned into non-profit entities where their 'profits' go for the common good, not for the benefit of a handful of wealthy elitists, industrialists, shareholders, executives and investors.

If they want to cheat, steal and lie to people, let them go into other types of business where their profit-mongering decisions don't affect people's lives.

At least companies like Verizon, Comcast, GM and a host of other 'big businesses' can only cheat, steal from and lie to those individuals who are naive enough to buy their products or services. RKO-
Those are HMO's for you.
Oh you think the politicians are more honest? Yeah right they are jealous and want some of that action!
How else can a big fat cigar smoking three martini lunch drinking CEO fat cat make $25 Mil. a year?
Yes I have and will continue to so. Any for-profit hospital,doctor,research center will always give the best care possible and have the initiatives to find cures and better methods to treat health problems. Take away the profit,and there is no desire to improve on anything...that sir,is called free enterprise and is the reason the USA has the best health care and research in the world.Insurance companies are not perfect,but government run insurance will have loop-holes no one can jump through.
horse hockey! i trust my children's health care to their doctors-our insurance company has never given us the first bit of trouble paying any claims. i HAD government health care while i was in the army-four years of 'public care' and i have a hand crippled from a pi$$-poor job of treating 3 broken fingers, all my 'government' dental work had to be re-done, and disc problems that were misdiagnosed and never treated-and did i mention how the 'government health professionals' LOST 4 years of medical records? of course, the VA says i can go to the nearest VA hospital for care...the same VA hospital where 2 sets of the skeletal remains of missing patients were discovered on the hospital grounds a few years back, and more recently was the subject of news articles about the father of a soldier who was wounded in Iraq, and who had to set out roach traps in his son's room because it was overrun with the disgusting critters



i'm perfectly happy to keep my family's medical care out of the hands of the folks that gave us Amtrak and $800 hammers, thank you very much
