Government can be good and bad. Companies can be good and bad. I trust government to keep our air and water clean more than I do large corporations who will do anything they have to do to please their shareholders, as long as they are taking home millions or billions of dollars every year!

the OP did not say that - ...

The OP didn't say anything about putting "government in control of everything".

I can't imagine this flimsy thinking style serves you very well in real life.

interesting thought process - rogist

Government in control of everything seems to be the go-to response to any post.

There are a lot of companies posting record profit sharing. Not just insurance companies and it has nothing to do with what party you follow. Or was your purpose just to come on and insult people conservatives and everyone who isn't in your club. You do realize that what you just said also fits with the crat "zombie followers".

To tell you the truth the American people who are conservative, indpendent and other than democrat have wised up. They have learned that these insurance companies the posted record profit along with wall street have happened so under this current administration. Obama sure is making them happy and their profits have never been better all due to him.

I just hope the crat "zombie followers" do wise up. They haven't yet and look at the mess we are in.

They are for profit businesses. Sometimes I think - we forget what insurance is

It is not some kind of welfare program. It is a program that assesses a risk and provides a coverage and premium based on the risk. As long as we allow them to be private businesses, they will stay profitable. If that means raising rates for all of the new pre-existing rules they will have to follow, then that is what will happen. I saw a huge jump in my premium this year as I think a lot of people did.

My premium was tripled overnight several years ago so - sm

They can't raise mine any more than it already has been. They priced me out, and that was their intent. I think health insurance companies are low-lifes.

Dear MoveOn member, Blue Cross has just announced that it's immediately raising premiums charged to hundreds of thousands of individual customers by as much as 39%—even though their parent company's profits soared to a record $4.7 billion last year.1 Even worse, the insurer has so far refused to explain why they're increasing their rates, and warned that they might do so again this year without warning. The Obama administration is demanding answers from Anthem Blue Cross, ...

Obamacare allows people to wait until they get sick to sign up. That's no different than waiting until my house burns down to sign up for homeowners insurance or waiting until I wreck my car to get car insurance.I understand that there are a lot of people who don't own a house or a car and maybe are unfamiliar with how insurance works. It is "insurance" which means insuring against what might happen. Allowing people to wait until they are sick means the insurance company is basic ...

If you are burned out on transcription and want to not sure what to do, this is the time of year when all of the insurance companies start hiring temps to do their annual HEDIS projects. The projects last 5-6 months and pay well. Call your local temp agencies and ask about them. I went from transcriptionist to working on one HEDIS project in 2014, did odd jobs til the 2015 project started, was on unemployment for a few months for the first time in my life and then got hired on ...

I just learned that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) companies with greater than 50 employees are required to offer insurance to all employees who work an average of 30 or greater hours per week. My company offers us insurance but you have to meet a production requirement consistently in order to qualify for this, and I know a lot of MTs struggle with this production requirement and therefore even if they work 35-plus hours per week they may not make the production requirement to earn a ...

By John ByrneFriday, February 12th, 2010 -- 9:45 am If no health care overhaul passes Congress, health insurers may be in for a windfall -- and one far larger that most Americans probably realize. According to a study by a pro-health reform group published Thursday, the nation's largest five health insurance companies posted a 56 percent gain in 2009 profits over 2008. The insurers including Wellpoint, UnitedHealth, Cigna, Aetna and Humana, which cover the majority of Americans with insur ...

Washington (AP): Private health insurance plans catering to Medicare recipients are making millions by taking money the government sends in advance - but isn't immediately needed - and using it to make investments, federal ivnvestigators say in a report obtained by The Associated Press. In financial parlance, it's called "playing the float." In contrast with another government program that also deals regularly with health insurers, MEDICARE LETS ITS PLANS KEEP THE CASH.

I laid in there for hours because they (black people) were in there being treated for gunshots," Alday was quoted as saying. "I am definitely not a racist, at all," Alday told Mississippi New ...

Okay, here is my problem. I have been trying to find a copy of a death record/death certificate/obituary online.

He eventually moved back to the area where his family is from and we lost touch. He was one of those friends that you can not see for a long time and then when you do see them again, you pick up ...

I might be the only one, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The amount of money spent campaigning in this country is ridiculous. And for what? Do those ads even do anything? Do they change peoples' minds? I don't think they do. All they ever seem to me is a childish tit-for-tat that makes us all look stupid. It just feels like both sides are trying to create the ultimate Hollywood film, and whoever's movie is better wins the prize. I'm aw ...

MARTINSVILLE, Ohio — With food stamp use at record highs and climbing every month, a program once scorned as a failed welfare scheme now helps feed one in eight Americans and one in four children. It has grown so rapidly in places so diverse that it is becoming nearly as ordinary as the groceries it buys. More than 36 million people use inconspicuous plastic cards for staples like milk, bread and cheese, swiping them at counters in blighted cities and in suburbs pocked with foreclosure si ...

Of all of the various government healthcare schemes that are or have been in existence, there is only one that has not blown through its estimated costs by at least a factor of 10. The Medicare prescription drug program is the only scheme that has come in at or below estimated costs. It is also the only scheme that is based on private competitive market forces. Capiche? ...

i.e. not politicized back-pedaling. In 2003, Sanders was among 32 co-sponsors of the Prison Rape Elimination Act, a measure to “establish a zero-tolerance standard” for sexual violence in prison. (The measure passed unanimously, but enforcement has been weak in the last decade.) In 2011, Sanders co-sponsored a measure to address the rape kit backlog. Here’s how Sen.
