Cenk, if your listening... we await your utter corruption by the "man" but will be most pleasantly surprised if you stay true to the values that many of us support but don't so eloquently express.

Health Insurance Company Sues Maine To Guarantee Profit

dedstick says...

This whole debate over health care boils down to a single issue IMO - are we going to keep our system of for profit (ie. insurance) paid health care or replace it with some type of a non profit plan. The answer seems obvious to me but the profits involved here are so great that it is going to be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, to wrench control out of the hands of the insurance companies and their lobby.
I have realistic expectations for what I get from my insurance company because, after all, they are a business and in our capitalistic society businesses exist and prosper when they make profits. I have no delusions that they are here to help me nor do I expect them to care about my well being when I decrease their profitability by getting sick. It is strictly a business arrangement and should be seen as such.
On the other hand, if we change this process and eliminate the profit motive from our health care management, I would expect the money that we waste now providing the profits insurance companies are happy to take would be used to provide care to those that can not afford health care or who have been turned away by the insurance companies.
So I must pose the question this way, is it morally or ethically acceptable for us, as a society, to ignore pain and suffering unless we can meet our shareholders demands for profit? I think not.
