Why should any state restrict business within it’s borders?
Do you support that in any other business segments?
Nah, there’s no reason to restrict insurance business.
Each year insurance companies siphon off hundreds of millions of dollars off health care payments to institutions. Translation: Those hundreds of millions of dollars siphoned off the health care dollars, do not cover ten cents worth of services. Don’t try to feed me the schlock that insurance companies are some magnificent benefactors to the health care industry. They are pariahs that limit what services people can have access to.
They also force hospitals to operate on a very thin margin. All sounds well and good, until you think about what hip joint you’ll get, what rehab services you’ll get, how clean the facility will be when you’re in the hospital, what surgery procedures will be used because the institution was forced into it by insurance companies that care more about their profits than the health care provided to their policy holders.
With lowered restrictions, other health care networks will be set up. Insurance companies are just like any other business in that they will provide a different package that hospitals and policy holders will want.
No hospital is going to turn down a better offer, if for one hospital or 50. No insurance company has an absolute lock on a hospital’s business, unless it’s a Kaiser or a captive audience like a Kaiser.
Obamacare payments are deductible? Since when?
Your employer has a stake in the change too. This new system should help them obtain insurance for you at a lower cost.
Do you support a Capitalist free enterprise economy? Are you doubting a free enterprise approach will work?
Your objections to all this sound as if they were torn right out of a union magazine.
Because the Constitution gives them the power to regulate business conducted with in their state.
Nah, there’s no reason to restrict insurance business.
Of course not. Why should any state want to ensure that their citizens are afforded a certain level of protection from unethical businesses?
Obamacare payments are deductible? Since when?
I said they were subsidized, not deductible. Just as healthcare under the Price plan will be.
Your employer has a stake in the change too. This new system should help them obtain insurance for you at a lower cost.
My company, like virtually every other large company, self insures. It contracts with Cigna to manage the health plan and then funds the claims out if its own pocket. Trumpcare is not going to change that.
Your objections to all this sound as if they were torn right out of a union magazine.
And your claims sound as if they are coming from someone without any understanding of how insurance works.
