Fear of Lawsuits Is Not Why We Spend So Much On Health Care

[woo me with science]

5. Corporate health insurance vultures play the role of profit-sucking/skimming middlemen

in a system that is designed specifically not just to enable, but to mandate, the skimming.

As bvar22 explained so clearly,

..about 15% (really more) of OUR money goes into the pockets of Private For Profit Corporations. That is 15% Off the Top that does NOT go toward Health Care for Americans, but instead goes to an Industry that:

*Manufactures NOTHING

*Provides NO Useful Service

*Creates NO Value Added Wealth

*Keeps no inventory


A Great Scam, if you can get the government to guarantee your "customers".
....
The RIGHT of the Health Insurance Industry to make a PROFIT shall not be infringed

This issue is propagandized separately by corporatists to their deliberately divided Red and Blue teams. It was perhaps the greatest propaganda scam in recent memory that they succeeded in painting a government mandate to buy exorbitantly priced insurance as "socialistic."
