  For-Profit Insurance Needs a Hug

  The problem has never been the insurance companies.  You can cite all the stats you want, but the bottom line is that these organizations are run by people. It is the people not the organization that are the problem.  The owners, decison and policy makers for these organizations and other health care organizations have a stake in the current system. It is thier livelihood and it expands their wealth and power.

  
  

  Until you change the game you'll get more of the same.

  
  

  A single payer option changes the game, but you can change the game in other ways. Elimiinating fee-for-service and pay-per-pill is the real goal because then the for-profit system rewards behavior that improves people's health.
