<<<It's the structural incentives that matter. How do health insurance companies make money? By denying payment to folk they insure>>>

It all makes sense. The primary mission of health insurance companies is to make money for themselves and for their shareholders. The only way they can make money is to take in as much money as possible and to payout as little as possible.

That is what they bring to the table. They have to spread risk and create products that will contribute to their fiduciary responsibilities.

Unless they can do something to lower health care costs, they can only increase overall costs.

The big mystery is why so many people can't see that.
