"I believe the goal of the Obamacare folks is not health insurance reform, but rather the consolidation of healthcare and insurance into a single entity."

Is that you Captain Obvious?

I really dont think most people consider what a disaster the loss of the insurance companies is going to be.

All people can think of is the stockholders of those companies.

When the insurance companies fail, most of Hartford CT and the surrounding area is going to fall apart. There are hundreds of thousands working in that business. They are not all going to go to work for the government.

I know people consider the ultimate goal of the insurance scheme is to consolidate healthcare. But this has so little to do with healthcare. Somewhere, some time, the folks that run the insurance companies really pissed off the wrong people.
