Quote from RangeBar:
That's total bullshit: nobody is advocating that.
By 'profiting' we are referring to health insurance companies. This includes multi-million dollar CEO's, 1000's of highly paid VP's, 10,000's of middle level managers whose sole purpose is finding ways to DENY paying medical claims. We are talking about the waste of 1000's redundant corporate digs, back-office staffs, advertising dollars, sales salaries . . and on & on. Obviously, doctors, nurses, technicans, and others will earn salaries for their work.
Who would you rather trust: a health insurance company wanting to make a profit or a gov't whose interests lies in a happy, healthy VOTING American? And before you begin your attack on 'politicans', ask yourself, WHY would Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and others push for universal coverage? Do you think that they are in need of such programs? Do you think that they can't now or in the future get their medical needs taken care of?
Unbelievable that there are such large numbers of idiots complaining about society removing the single biggest threat to security that we face in the 21st century.
