Furthermore, I believe they make the cost of health care artificially high by making the consumer (patient) and seller (doctor) relationship go away. Also, it's in their own best interest to force medical costs to be so high that people can't afford them without insurance.

But...we really are affording the cost of health care already, PLUS paying for the existence of the insurance companies. Think about it, where does the money come from to pay for health care plus the insurance companies? It comes from us.
RIGHT.

So you TELL ME........who will administer the mess without insurance companies.......

Insurance as it sits today is NOT perfect, but for the most part, it works.

SURE there are some problems, and some SERIOUS problems, but for 95% of all customers, it works just fine.

And KNOW1......if you hate the Insurance Companies so much.......DON'T BUY INSURANCE......save your premiums and pay the costs yourself.....SIMPLE.
