Quote:


Insurance companies are not evil, they are simply trying to maximize their profits just like any other business. The best way to maximize profits is to increase productivity and therefore private companies are more effective than government-run institutions that have little reason to function effectively.




Has the fall of the world economy last year taught you nothing?

What does Goldman Sachs' bonuses do for the world economy? By creaming all of the profit out of the financial sector everyone loses except for the few hundred partners at the bank.

The best way to maximize profit is not to maximize productivity, but to maximize price and minimize services.

If you try that in a free market you go out of business fast. Health Insurers don't operate in a free market, they have set up individual monopolies with anti-trust protection.

I completely understand a reluctance to rely on governments to do anything. But it's better than relying on them to do nothing.
