The only concern of this insurance company would be people's health not keeping them from spending money so higher profits are made. I think if we spend more per capita Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503096710901190795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771666371746650057.post-32717247175309718062009-02-04T23:16:00.000-06:002009-02-04T23:16:00.000-06:00Flee,The main reason "we" can't afford it?

The problem I have is the word "we". He means, "we, the people", i.e. The Federal Government. The problem is, under even a close approximation of a healthcare system "as nice" as we have it now, WE can't afford to cover everyone. <BR/><BR/>The problem is not the fact that it is a for profit business.

If health care wasn't a for profit business where half of every dollar spent on health insurance was then spent on lobbying to keep people from using their insurance, viagra commercials, and bonuses I bet we could insure everyone.
