They exist to make money. Nothing else. Their service is designed to make them money. Making money isn't some nice little offshoot of it.
I come from the mindset that companies are in business to operate efficiently and make money. I think this because it is the ultimate motivation for them to do a good job(not that they do but at least the environment is created so that they can). When they have the motivation taken away them they don't even have the chance to do a good job because why would they?
I don't begrudge any company from making money. As it is, to me, there's no economic system that will satify the wants and needs of everyone without flaws. I think that is the main reason that there isn't a healthcare system in the world that works 100%
As bad as our system seems to work all the state run healthcare systems around world have problems that, while different from ours, are in most cases just as serious.

I just had lunch with my commercial insurance guy (who has done very well with it). He corrected me as I accused him, and the spawn like him of racketeering, profiteering, and wearing an earring. His contention is that the insurance co's are getting what they need to stay in the game.
Live to fight another day Matty.
Closer to the heart, he tells (which I know is true, as I am dealing with it) the insurance co's are pulling out of Florida because of the loss's and liability related to wind/flood damage. He is accustomed to ins co's beating down his door courting him to offer their product. Taking him on trips, long golf weekends, Dolphin tickets, etc. He says, that is GONE. Never hears from anyone like that. His opinion is the atty's are reaping the fruit of the land. Far be it from me to me to protect the atty's.
THEY are the BAD guy's
