Surprise surprise, forced insurance is profitable. Hard to imagine having queues of people waiting to buy a promise from a company focused solely on investor profits. At least in the America I once knew, it would be hard to imagine.

And all the while insurers are getting ready to outsource and off-shore in a big way. Accounting, Purchasing, and some HR/Operations like attendance and record keeping are being boxed up to ship overseas as I type.

Where else would you buy insurance from besides insurance companies>

And I surely would like to know about that outsourcing and how it ties in to this or any other healthcare plan.

Why insurance?
No one has answered the overriding question so brilliantly proposed by Rep Weiner from NY. What value does insurance add to health care? All responses are about $$$ or attempts at insults. Everyone has been trying to find answers to the wrong questions. “What value does insurance add to health care?” needs to be answered before the discussions go forward.

Insurance OF ANY KIND, profit or non-profit, add NOTHING to health care.

An insurance company clerk has NEVER given a shot.

An insurance company marketing expert has NEVER set a broken bone.

An insurance company lawyer has NEVER worked the ER.

An insurance company salesman has NEVER performed physical therapy.

An insurance company CEO making $100,000 a day has NEVER emptied a bed pan.

See PlacitasRoy post below.

The outsourcing/off-shoring is just a little something I got from a source on the inside. Good reporter has to protect his source. So there is no link or anything just insider information.

Just trust you? Hee hee hee hee. You aren’t a reporter, you’re a politician. You must think we’re all pretty stupid to take a bunch of hooey like that.

I have inside information too. It says you are blowing smoke out your butt.

And no insurance adjuster has ever replaced a fender on a car.

So we should do away with auto insurance?

What would you replace health insurance with? Leave everyone to hang out to dry? Medicare/Medicaid? That’s just an insurance policy.

I have a reputation online and in real life for honesty and accuracy. In my line of business trust is a requirement due to the access to sensitive data I have at hundreds of businesses and homes.

I really don’t care if you believe me or not. I have a friend at a large insurance company that works purchasing and she gets the bills for the VISA’s to India. Lot’s of them lately, and she said her friends in accounting are already training their replacements.

No, I don’t think most posters on CHB are stupid. Quite the contrary, which is why I come here. I do wonder where your hostility comes from, at least for a moment.

One pitch hurlers usually strike themselves out Woody, and I feel I can safely say that most come here to listen, think, and possibly find one more chink in the armor that adorns the ignorance of man…

Thank you for adding absolutely nothing to the discussion. Why do you have to gratuitously throw in more ad hominem comments? Please stop with the snide rudeness.
