Profiting off sick people

Random blog comment:

I'm just glad I don't have to suffer your system. Sweeping reform seems in order. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would accept a system where insurers can profit off sick people.


Sick people represent actuarial losses, not profits.

  1. Hi Flarin Karen -I'm sorry you've had to endure this disease. I was reading some of your other posts and this Obama plan sounds scary at best. I too am probably in the category of someone to save money on vs the well baby check up.

    I loathe how if a person hits a certain age or has a lesser quality of health... they are not as valued.

    What about dignity, respect and right to life? Who exactly determines (what pencil pusher or standard form)the value/worthiness of a procedure and/or med for another?

    It almost sounds sci fi to me. Not the country or life I grew up in.

    Colonoscopy without meds...there is a name for that..HITLER...IMO.
