That the evil profit motive in health insurance industry is not such a big deal.

There are plenty of people with insurance who work for companies that are self insured. There is no profit motive.

If the profits are removed from the small segment covered by a for profit insurer we still have the same problem with a few % saved.

Not for profit insurance has a similar objective, one is to at least break even the other for profit is to do better than even.

If the government could run SS, medicare and medicaid on at least a break even projection maybe we could have more faith in Obamacare.
