There is nothing wrong with making money, but there is something wrong with making obscene amounts of money that comes at the expense of people who HAVE health insurance and still can't get the care they need, just because it could hurt the bottom line of insurance companies. Anyone who defends insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves for defending such behavior in this country.
Good post!
It goes farther and deeper than morality. What these insurance cartels are doing is a violation the whole concept of a free market. In a true free market, you can't get rich by making other people poor. Unless everyone benefits, it is not a true free market, it is a captured market, a perversion of that critical tenet.
What is true irony...it is socialism, for corporations.
Wrong. There is no system in which EVERYONE BENEFITS. Some people, by their own choices, don't want to benefit. Some people opt out of participating. A standard that EVERYONE BENEFITS is unobtainable utopianism which is unachievable in any reality.
Utopian??? We DON'T have a free market in America. If you believe we do, then YOU are some kind of dreamer! Do you know what 'regulatory capture' is? Do you know what 'cost externalization' is? Didn't think so. You have NO understanding of what a free market is or how it works.
You need to understand that health insurance corporations are NOT in the health CARE business, they are in the PROFIT business. The 'model' that gains them profit, punishes or even literally kills the customer.
Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.
