<<<When you look at the hundreds of millions of dollars (out of billions) that crooked healthcare execs are willling to 'give back' when caught in options scandals (like the current one at United Healthcare with McGuire), it's clear there is 'plenty of money' in processing claims for insurance purposes...>>> These people would want nothing better than to deregulate everything. Ordinary people who buy into this notion are being played for suckers. What the suckers don't understand is that the fight is not between private enterprise versus government. It is all about systems. Good systems versus bad systems. Enron was a bad business model and a bad system. The old Soviet Union was a bad government model and a bad system. If it is a bad system, you either have to get rid of it or fix it. What the suckers are doing is trying to get in the way of people who want to try fixing things.
