Reply #1: This is why I'm against insurance companies being in any health care

reform. They don't want to play fair because they know they can't compete without losing their big, fat profit margin. I was for a while ready to compromise and say okay, let them compete on the open market with a publicly run plan. Then I started reading about how they are going to fight any public plan or get it so watered down as to be useless. Screw them. We don't need them. I swear to God if this happens, I'm going to do what I can to put together an insurance company that offers comprehensive health insurance to businesses and unions, undercutting the insurance companies in every way I can to run them out of business. Then I hope to be able to offer it to everyone. It will result in being single payer just not government run single payer. It will be non-profit and maybe even employee owned like a cooperative. I'm looking into the financing and hope I can pull it off. If I can't maybe somebody can.
