>> So the answer is to force everyone to buy insurance from for profit insurance companies? The Medicare system has never really functioned without commercial insurance ("Medigap"). It is something people don't really understand, but if so many Medicare patients didn't have Medigap, providers would have had to drop Medicares a long time ago as the cost of collecting from patients is just too high. Medigap policies generally pay without the provider having to file a claim (based on Medicare "crossover" claims), and the cost of collecting from the MGP carrier is a fraction of what it is to collect balances from the patients. All that shit matters.

I see nothing wrong with for profit. There are risks. I work a job. I work for profit. My costs were my educational costs, costs for transportation, uniforms in the military, suits and other clothing items, grooming costs and so forth. I bring home a lot more than my costs, that's for-profit. Every single Leftist with a job out there doing anything as a job does the same thing...works a job for profit and that includes McDonald's and Burger King line workers. They work for profit.
