That SImple.

lol

Something I’ll probably never need to make a claim for in my life but I’ll definitely be paying for ( going 15 plus years strong now and counting with no payouts from the company having to be made yet) now that’s a good BUSINESS

the person who wrote this thing just gave everyone the visual of it… he looks just like the same low life critters who run everything else in this country that’s effed up because they have a lack of common sense and intelligence over “me want more money”

first thing i thought when i saw his picture was “he’s all about money” and not about anybody’s well being (and as usual im an easy reader call em right every time). That’s what health CARE really is, but NOT ABOUT in this country…. being physically and mentally healthy

short and simple… THEY -WANT-YOUR -MONEY (premiums)

anything else that actually has t do with the word HEALTH and requires the littlest common sense to figure out.. won’t happen

perfect example?.. this guy that wrote this thing just asked why doesn’t health insurance work as good as life insurance? an answer i’d bet a 5th grader could give you… really simple… can’t believe i even have to break something this simple down – but not surised at all

SIMPLE ANSWER: add the amount of people using their life insurance everyday compared to the amount of people using their health insurance… (even simplier) how many people are dying everyday on their life insurance policies compared to the amount of people who are getting sick on their health insurance policies

you buy a life insurance policy and pay it every month of your life and then the company doesn’t have to pay out one claim later until 10 – 50 years down the road on most of their customers

COMPARED TO

you buy a health insurance policy and the next day the company has to pay a claim… the week after that they have to pay another claim…. every month after that they’re still putting money out for claims… they can’t PROFIT

SIMPLE. BUT NO CRITTER ON THIS PAGE HAD ANY COMMON SESNE TO FIGURE THAT OUT

my health is not your financial business (more lack of simple common sesne) and why we’re in the mess we’re in now…. Health “Insurance” should be called Health Business/ Profits instead… just ask this guy with the suit on in the pic… even he’d admit to that… unless he’s doing that “Deny Delay Defend” thing again they have to always do

SIMPLE AS IT GETS: You – Can’t – Make – Peoples – Health – a – Business – They – Get – Sick – Too – Much. A business is supposed to make money, not give it out. (duh)

Get out of my Health “services” Plain AND simple.

You are wrong. Or at least you are relying on a study that is interpreting the data wrong. Check out the NCPA study “Do Other Countries Have the Answers?

I don’t have the link handy, but it’s at this web site on the CDHC home page.

For Profit health insurers contribute significantly to the increased costs of health care in the United States and to ignore this issue only caters to their nearly omnipotent lobby. On the other hand private insurers are much more skilled at providing options for individuals and groups as well as promoting efficiency than is the government.

The Medical Loss Ratio for insurance companies is 70-75% compared to about 95%% for medicare. According to Regina Herzlinger 5% overhead is typical for companies in Switzerland where a competitive highly regulated market exists. All working citizens are required to carry some form of insurance ranging from “catastrophic only” to policies with “all the bells and whistles”.

I would suggest that regulated health care insurance similar to the Swiss system with costs overseen by health care equivalents of a Public Utility Commission could improve access and affordability without incurring excessive taxpayer burden.

Feel free to point me to more accurate data.

If you feel like ignoring data, than you are also “just another person with an opinion”

So, to both sides:

Is our present system the best in the world?
