Don't private health insurance cos. invest your premiums on the market? [View All]

[Hello_Kitty]

Doesn't that mean if they make bad investments and lose money, that they get to raise your premiums? Doesn't that also make them, in the case that they become the primary deliverer of health care under a "universal" system, too big to fail? Does that mean that if Humana invests in the next Enron, or investment bubble, or Bernie Madoff that we taxpayers are on the hook to bail them out?
