health insurance owns us
This struck me the other day:
Health insurance companies are supposed to depend on people, their customers. The companies should be working hard to provide us with a product that we are willing to pay for. If companies don't sell us a good enough product, they don't survive.
In reality, it's reversed. We have become completely dependent on the health insurance companies. The companies offer whatever product they think will generate the most profit for them, and if we don't buy it, we're screwed when we have a health problem.
I'm with galactic_dev. It's long past time to stop defending the private insurance system. It's time to unelect the legislators who do so.
