Though I do have to say that my time at the American Medical Association did influence my opinions of Insurance...as well as a lot of personal experiences...
The insurance companies are like the robber barons of that late 18tyh and early 19th century. Their only goal is profit and they don't let their customers get in the way of that. When someone talks about the evils of Corporate America, the first thing that comes to my mind is the insurance company. If they can't compete with a government plan, then I guess they are just too inflexible to exist...isn't that the best of a free market system. If you can't survive as a business, then you go out of business. Buh Bye...

"Works for me" I suppose it will depend on midterm elections and the Supreme Court. It's pretty interesting that both of you think it is okay for the gov't to undercut a private industry so much that it forces said industry out of existence. Either of you do any programming for insurance companies or insurance company dependent businesses? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:317661 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
