Actually, doofus, no. The larger the insurance pool, the lower the premiums. That's why every other first world country spends half as much of a % of GDP as we do on health care while getting better outcomes.
You all just don't want to admit the profit motive tied to administration is what's spiking costs in this country,
So are you defending this system?
they understand capitalism 1+1=2 extortion is not capitalism
How is letting Medicare use its leverage as the largest payer in the market to bargain for cheaper prescription drugs, "extortion"?
none of my business if someone wants to buy a Rolls Royce rather than a Chevy I don't care. Do you??????
But it is your business. You claim to be one of these "business people". A lack of consumer demand will most definitely affect your business. .
you are assuming that money spent in the consumer economy has the same effect as money spent in the health care economy. But it isn't.
so the Great Depression was an example of an economy doing well??
The Great Depression started when a Republican was President, and Republicans controlled both houses of Congress.
00% wrong!! FDR was 100% Depression and World War. Worst possible results but what we expect from idiotic liberalism! Obama was second most liberal and had second worst economy.
there are numerous differences in effect I suppose.
Money spent on health may save you life, for example.
Generally what you want is maximum efficiency to yield great jobs and products in all areas of the economy and that means Republican capitalism.
you always know so little. Hoover was a liberal
so you want libNazi govt to step in, in a free country, and force people to by a Rolls when they only want a Chevy to keep demand at a level the libNazis like for some unknown reason???
This much is clear in the reform they have finally proposed, after a 7 year wait. Their bill does nothing to increase coverage or make coverage any more affordable. In fact, their bill would make coverage less affordable because it eliminates the federal protections for pre-existing conditions, turning it over to the states...because I guess people get a different kind of breast cancer in Oklahoma than they do in Massachusetts?

Dammit. The government already insures the poor, the retired, and the disabled. Who the hell needs an insurance industry that skims off all the cream and leaves the skim milk with the government.
Exactly!!!!!!
Insurance companies do nothing to improve or enhance your health care or your outcomes. Insurance companies don't employ any doctors (exception being Kaiser), they don't do mammograms, they don't do prostate exams, they don't take your blood pressure, they don't take your temperature, they don't prescribe you drugs, and they don't cure diseases. All insurance companies do is administrate the reimbursement from the premium pool to your provider for the care they performed. And for this "service" they get to keep as much as 20 cents of every $1 you pay in premiums for themselves. What a rip-off.
/---- how do you know what others know about insurance? You couldn't possibly have a clue. Go dry up
/---- you know 20% is half of what retailers take as profit. Besides the 20% is gross not net. They have to cover salaries and operating expenses you dolt.

In exchange for what you pay a retailer, you get something back. You get nothing back when it comes to health insurance. You only lose money.
