Health Insurance Co Pres. Fired – Why?

@Fig1024 Seriously – you should consider the source and methodology of their ranking system. WHO (World Health Organization) report rates national health care performance according to five trendy flavors of the month: life expectancies, inequalities in health, the responsiveness of the system in providing diagnosis and treatment, inequalities in responsiveness, and how fairly systems are financed.

@Fig1024 if sources at all. For the many nations that simply do not maintain health statistics, the WHO “developed [data] through a variety of techniques.” Without consistent and accurate data from within a single country, how can meaningful comparison be made among 191 different countries?

No. If another company was formed, it would either join the monopoly or be “brought out” when it becomes big enough. Even if you have 1 million smaller companies that form, they would slowly combine and you’d still get a handful of large companies. The truth is that in terms of profit, large corporations that form a monopoly make the most money as demonstrated by the history of American corporations, most of which started as small businesses.

@ZachValkyrie hahahah this is the best comment i ever seen XD. Canada, the true land of the free, multicultural, and best health care in the world!(not entirely free, via pay taxes)

@net200910 Name some corporations that do business in the US without any government help. Show me some examples of long term monopolies without government aid.

@net200910 I guess you didn’t understand my question. I said WITHOUT government help. Walmart – est $1 billion in taxpayer money. Paypal is a more complex case, but it’s not a monopoly, because obviously a consumer has many choices, including not using paypal at all.If Walmart charges low low prices, that doesn’t qualify as an evil monopoly, that’s a good thing for consumers. And the fact is even the mere threat of competition keeps them on their toes. Long term monopoly myth.

What about Microsoft? You skipped them? Aren’t they a monopoly? You want to purchase a new computer, you get Windows. You want something else, you better build your own. A monopoly isn’t evil. Corporations are not evil. Companies want to make the most money possible. The belief that profit is evil is ridiculous. What I’m saying is that corporations do not have consumers in mind as their best interest.

with medicare being a government owned and not allowed to reject service to people with the health care reform bill, i say let these other stupid insurnece companies raise their premiums , that in return would get people to switch to medicare, and with everyone on medicare, you might aswell bill it as universal health care

@jxsilicon9 There’s no market in the US that the government doesn’t regulate. And the bell telephone monopoly only happened because of the government, just after ww2 ended. Standard oil? Very efficiently run company that halved the price of oil – great for consumers. But without government help, even their “monopoly” would’ve been temporary – if they arbitrarily decided to raise rates, new competition would emerge.

@net200910 Microsoft? Here’s a recent headline : Microsoft Windows Sales Plunge 24% Amid Rising Competition. Competition is great for consumers, it forces companies to offer better service at lower prices – unless of course they have some sort of monopoly because of the government. Mexico has that across the board. Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, runs a telephone company in mexico – government-aided monopoly. The most expensive long distance rates in the world.

@doublejoe69 thats nice what about the crime rates and the people in general, are they well coming to immigrants ? and are they well educated?

and what’s obama’s solution to this?
let’s make it illegal to not have insurance, so those who refuse to give these monsters their money are slapped with a fine…. there u go, some healthcare reform

Can the president take money from corporations and give it to the people
