How close are we to regulating the insurance industry? I was so GLAD in '92-'93 that Hillary Clinton was actually helping to do something about it. I'm afraid it's totally out of control. The insurance "bankers" are raising rates on health insurance at will. There is NO "regulation." That makes it very difficult for the EMPLOYED, not to mention the UNEMPLOYED, to "plan" for "retirement." "lb"

Sure sounds like you have an exciting business...(s) I thought so, now I understand why you hate successful business people. Yup, have to pay by own insurance and it's expensive. I used to be in a union which was a much better deal. Independent operators pay the most. I am impressed though that we are not that far from national health care if we just make thje commitment to make it happen. Bush's plan however needs to be ripped up. Tens of billions in corporate profits need to be cut out of the deal. Bush is partly privatizing Medicare this way, by squeezing more corporate profits out of the kitty.
