>>>> PS: What you wrote is bullshit by the way... Of course you'd say that. But the reality is that private insurance operates under the tension of having to face its customer and the civil justice system for its actions. As a result, the outcomes are generally fair. For example, in the course of five years, the biggest three insurance companies have dropped a total of 5,000 insureds per year for not disclosing preexisting conditions. That is a MINUSCULE number (in spite of the lies on this subject from the Left). In truth, it simply doesn't happen unless there is damned good reason. Why? Because it isn't in the insurance company's self-interest to do it. You saying it is "bullshit" doesn't counter a solid argument like the above. So, you prove it is bullshit if you think you can. But...but...but...your republican compadres are the ones going around the country talking about death panels, rationing and pulling plugs on grandma? This must mean that they presumably advocate NO controls on end of life care, no? I've not heard anything of this sort. I don't think anyone who has ever dealt with government wants a government bureaucrat making life-and-death decisions. But in fairness, the discussion of "death panels" was quite limited.
