The insurance companies are predators who should use their obscene profits to cover the uninsured as well as my employees, or be driven out of business by a Government plan. I should benefit from the risks I take as a business owner, not the insurance companies.

But I also expect them to cover health as promised. It is to their benefit if those they cover are healthy. Instead, they prefer that we pay and assume the majority of the risk when we buy into their products. What they are doing is nothing more than blackmail of the American people. They already stand to get millions of new customers but they want the status quo. This shows that their input thus far is nothing but a kidnapping of the planning process of the Health care reform. The ransom note has been sent. Time to get als Mel Gibson on them. @Sage, I have no objection to insurance companies making a profit. But I also expect them to cover health as promised.

These insurance companies have had everything their way for a long time and it needs to end. Do people really not see what's going on? Our representatives have been bought and paid for and we suffer the consequences. The opposition to single payer is all about keeping the insurance industry making a profit. Obama was wrong to take it off the table saying we had to use the system we already have in place. The system we have in place sucks eggs. Our whole damn country has become all about somebody turning a profit. Who cares who get hurts or dies? Certainly not the corporate honchos who believe their only responsibility is to make money for their stock holders. They have no morals and no conscience. I think that’s the answer.
