This is a terrible comparison. But if you must, the airline travel
industry has also gone to hell. I don't know how much you fly, but
it's miserable today as compared to 20 years ago. A couple of weeks
ago Alaska airlines started charging for even my first checked bag.
And they don't bother telling you this till you're at the counter. So
go to the airport with cash in your pocket.
The seating space on planes has decreased. No movies unless you pay
for the headsets. And you get meals on a long flight if you pay for
them. But all of this of course is if you are flying coach. First
class is a different story, and the only thing I'd fly nowadays on a
flight longer then 4 hours. But then again, you have to pay for it.
Hmmm, coach healthcare and then first class healthcare if I'm willing
to pay for it. What a concept.

I'm behind on my email, but one problem is that anymore
there are few actual insurance companies. The big ones keep
buying the smaller ones to limit competition.
Compare a list of airline companies from 1980, shortly after the
airlines
were deregulated, and compare that list to today. I think you'll
see a
significant difference in the list, not to mention the cost to the
consumer
to fly.
I don't know why people think that insurance companies, when they
aren't
being propped up by the states with laws that limit their
competition, don't
have to obey the laws of supply and demand.
I have to say, I'm really stumped by this attitude.
Hmmmm, it seems that they are good at dropping people who
actually need to use their services. See examples of
"recision" by the health insurance companies. If someone
gets sick and starts costing them money hurting the profit
potential of the company, the insurance company finds a way
to ditch the person/company.
See above. You and the Rev really need to get your heads around the
status
quo.
