Reply #172: Get over it? No one should profit from health insurance. It should be illegal. [View All]

Get over it? I can't. Insurance is sharing risk. An entity that profits from sharing health care risk is absurd. Health insurance should be non-profit by definition. Lately, I have become ashamed of my country to a degree I would never have believed possible 20 years ago. "Single Payer" is a bad term. We all pay for our health costs and the most cost-effective way is to exclude anyone or anything from making money from the process. It is so simple I can't believe that we can't all (meanning all Americans) agree on it. The only people who disagree are the ones who are cashing in on the profit. Get over it, my ass. I can't. I won't. Neither should any other Americans.
