It's not "health care," folks. It's a national business arrangement.

Oh, bull crap! The insurance companies, like the overwhelming majority of companies in this country, are run by "short-run thinkers" that never look beyond the next quarterly financial report. Insuarnce companies are looking at this as most businesses would - an opportunity to obtain numerous additional members that will generate revenue. The falacy in their thinking is that the revenue portion will come; it may initially, but it will be at the decision approval of the government.

In the meantime, the government will mandate innumerable changes in the regulations, reporting, delivery methods, and other arbitrary bureaucratic nonsense that will cost the industry billions to implement. This of course means that WE will be paying consistently higher and higher rates for our helathcare. More importantly, at some point these short-sighted nimrods are going to be absorbed by the government, where they will be nothing less than a serving arm of the federal goverment. This law was intended for only one thing... destroy private insurance and drive everyone to a single payer system run by the government, which in turn will be used to control them. All of this initial hemming and hawing is just noise... if it is completely implemented, this country dies.

Insurance companies know full well that ObamaCare will ultimately destroy them. That's part of the plan. Even without ObamaCare, these companies are facing financial ruin simply from the growing imbalance between healthy policy holders and those who need constant medical attention.

Heck -- medical insurance isn't even "insurance" anymore, given the size and frequency of the claims. It's nothing more than a mechanism for shifting the burden of costs from patients to others.

The insurance industry isn't going to be interested in staying in the business for very long. ObamaCare was a perfect mechanism to prop up their customer base while at the same time laying the groundwork to get them out of the business entirely.
