People who are not part of a "GROUP". America's Health Insurance system.....is an EMPLOYER/GROUP system. This is because the only power individuals can have over the Insurance Companies.....is if they band together in HUGE groups.....that the Insurance Companies cannot afford to lose. This gives them power to protect their members from being denied coverage by the Insurers. Here is WHO doesn’t have Health Care in America……………50-65 year old self-employed Americans.

What drugs is this guy taking???? Sure....a young union plumber might be able to buy a limited health insurance plan for $100 a month because his union is a huge powerful GROUP.

One important factor is "barriers to entry." In health care, one example of this factor is the way medical doctors control their numbers starting with the way MDs are trained. Another example is the high development cost and complexity of medical technology. Laissez-faire is not an option, unless one is willing to choose premature death.

Get 11 million hooked up on the govt program? That is not half, that's not even a quarter of the uninsured. Why the hell don't we do it without govt intervention? Why can't we pool the money like they are going to? Can anyone name 1 govt agency that runs efficiently? No? Why? Because there isn't one. Just listen to the politicians talk. They admit they are going to steal the money. They talk shit about the govt but they are part of the govt. We're screwed. So, what was the plan? Get 11 million hooked up on the govt program?

Yes....your rates have gone up 50% over the past 6 years. So.......it will be comforting for you to know that because of the power of your Group......your insurance only went up 50%......while coverage for the Self Employed went up about 300%. Most of those suckers had to drop it all together.....and will lose everything they own if they get sick.

You probably know them better as the "Proletariat." Low prices = good for the poor. Free markets remove all coercion from the system and allow individuals to pursue their separate interests. Producers are free to produce most anything, but if a producer fails to meet its consumers' needs, consumers vote with their dollars and that producer ceases to exist. No one is powerless in a free market except the elite. The people who benefit most from the free market are the working poor.

CountArtha, that's how great purely free markets are! Free markets oppress people.
