commoditization of a safety net negates its purpose. its gross to even consider privatizing.
its bad enough insurance company profits exist only when human beings suffer. can we stop with the profiteering maybe a little?
any for profit insurance only makes money by denying claims. they cant possibly cover all claims. its an inherent property of insurance and why its more like gambling than anything. the profit piece just means more money is siphoned away from the distributed responsibility.
with health insurance that claim is a human suffering
