An inanimate object cannot commit a violent act...

I guess you haven't heard about the war on "terrorism". :coffee:

There are very minor things that they could have done that would have made health care more affordable and accessible. However, the goal wasn't to make it more affordable and accessible, it was to ram through as close to an Utopian plan as possible. For that, mission accomplished.

In all sincerity, this "conk" would support single payer over the ACA. :nod:
Utopian, for WHO? The Insurance companies?

Gosh, Z, you say that almost as if you don't believe that insurance companies put your health before their profits. :coffee:

They should, just like food producers put your need for nutrition before their profits and how builders put your need for shelter before their profits. Right? :?

Yes.

Remove for-profit insurance and prices will go down.
As will quality.

If there's no profit motive in making/delivering a product or service, then usually that productive or service = poor quality.

If you want to lower the price of a product or service while keeping quality high, then need to increase competition.

Won't help quality. Insurance companies make their money by not paying for things they accepted premiums for.
