Insurance company equation: death equals profit
Health insurance companies are nothing more than banks. They do NOT provide health care. They handle money. Their agents are also deeply involved in financial corporations. Yes, I mean insurance agents that sell insurance. They sell annuities which are nothing more than bets that use people’s life savings to fund. They are betting that people will die before the money they used to buy the annuity runs out. Death equals profit. The financial institutions also buy stocks that fund the war machine. Death equals profit.

We do not need to "Drive down the cost of health insurance." We need to end he insurance corporations involvement in health care.

That is the current foundation of politics and world society today. If this course is not changed soon, we will witness world wide corporate fascism within our lifetimes. Exploding oil platforms, nuclear power plants built on earthquake faults and near oceans, levees built on sand in Texas and inadequately in Mississippi will pale in comparison. That is currently and will continue to be our future if nothing changes.

The billionaire living on his or her Blackwater reinforced island won't give a goods rat’s ass about slave labor in China.

1. Insurance is the problem
As as long as private health insurance is involved, reshuffling the terminology and procedures will do nothing to fix the real problem that is private health insurance. Nothing short of the government doing the paperwork and paying the bills for Single Payer, Universal Health Care will bring this country into the 21st century as far as our health care is concerned.
