Gosh, you could undercut the evil insurance companies by charging whatever they charge LESS the profit they make off every client. Indeed, nothing stops ANYONE from starting a non-profit tomorrow and doing exactly that. Gee, I don't understand why there isn't a rash of do-gooders and good-thinkers like Bongo Brazil fighting to see who can create the best non-profit to help out all those millions. --- In FairfieldLife@ yahoogroups. com, "do.rflex" <do.rf...@.. .> wrote: > > > > According to a study by a pro-health reform group published Thursday, > the nation's largest five health insurance companies posted a 56 percent gain > in 2009 profits over 2008.
