I'm a long time free market guy, but these guys are making mind boggling profits while denying coverage for people who thought they had good insurance. Often in catastrophic cases. Medical bankruptcy hit over a million Americans every year. Over two million if you count their children.
Insurance workers with high school diplomas are determining what treatments patients should receive. Millions are uninsured. Costs and premiums are going through the roof. IT'S NOT WORKING.
It HAS to change. The time has come to end this bullshit. I'm all for shrinking the insurance companies share of the market and getting control of costs. Bringing some of those 12 figure insurance co. profits back into the health care system.
There will always be private insurance companies if enough people want them. If enough people don't, that says something.

Insurance companies are a HUGE part of the problem here.
