Health insurance is a "for profit" industry last time I heard. They have shareholders to report to. God forbid they make money. I know how you liberals hate people to be prosperous. LOL. Are the insurance companies messed up? Yes! Do they screw people over? YES! Will the government make it even worse? *%# YES!!! What has the government made better, once it's got its hands on it? Wait and see what it does with the mortgage-banking industry!
