They will always do the bare min to get past all the hate they have faced in 2009, and in 93 and in past years before that.It blows my mind that the Health insurance industry is saying that a public plan kills competition and they wont be able to compete. Seriously? If this public government run plan will be so bad and cost so much money and just adds ton of red tape how in gods earth can they not compete? At the moment all but 4 states in this nation have 2 companies that control over 50% of the market. Thats not competition.In some cases 2 companies own 98% 95%. Seriously? Just letting the insurance companies get their way by stalling legislation or forcing everyone to get health care w/o making any changes to competition and gouging then this merry go round will just continue. Im tired of this. My wife and i spend almost 40% of our income on our health insurance and copay's.This isn't American. Why must my insurance be tied to a job?This doesn't make one sense at all. What happens if im sick and i cant work? What happens to my insurance then? Even if i was able to still get paid im still not guaranteed to not go bankrupt because of deductibles and copay's.It blows my mind that people can spend over $10,000 in premiums and copay's a year and still not be guaranteed. My car insurance does a better job of covering me then you do.Thats sad. Leaving the insurance agents to reform themselves will never happen.
