These huge private health insurance companies are the product of government regulation, collusion and kickbacks to politians. Worst form of crony capitalism that impoverishes and hurts working people. Its the sort of rot that disheartens people and worsens their lot by leading them to socialism in frustration. Its how Democrats get elected.
