<<<I just think that if the government is going to cover the high risk group, it might as well distribute the risk by covering everyone by expanding Medicare>>>

Why go through this charade with the insurance companies. It is like dealing with an industry of "jail house lawyers". It is not like we don't know what happens when governments cover everyone.

Costs go down virtually cut in half. Health care goes up.

Why not just pay them off. Give the insurance companies their 3% "profit" and get them out of the loop all together. All they have to do is fight each other for their share of 3% of total health care costs in this country.

"Giving" the insurance industry their 3% "profit" for doing nothing would be a great roi. Give away 3% and get 47% lower health care costs.
