The place where anyone can get anything online, and the more marketable the better. The only thing worse is their comments section, which is considered a totally contrarian indicator. In point of fact, the companies mentioned are not halfway to the mark in the headline.

Still $500Billion market cap is pretty outrageous for a health insurance company.

Is it because they get the insurance companies to play ball with exorbitant fees? Or do they actually accomplish something

Dollars to admins and insurance companies are not dollars for care
letsgoteam Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Those who are taking victory laps because both TN legislaters were reappointed, I don't get the victory laps. The very day, hours even, after they were "expelled" news outlets were already saying they were most likely to be reinstated. So from day one to me, I knew it was going to be a bunch of hoopla and then they'd be back in a very short amount of time.

The cracker Tenn R's with a 2/3 majority from gerrymandering just got goosed on national TV and you don't get it? Long, long way from colorblindness in Tenn but it's a start. Terrible state to live but some have little choice...Memphis and Nashville trying their best. Chattanooga also has some brave youngin's Edited April 13, 2023 by redtail hawk

Unfortunately, they had to pull teeth (and perhaps a few fingernails) to get this lousy compromise of private/public done. The end result was an abortion of policy but coverage for 10's of millions American who were uninsured. doesn't work but how are we gonna rid ourselves of the health care leaches with R connections?

The Democrats had a majority in the HoR and the Senate and the Presidency. All the Republicans voted against it and some Democrats and it still passed. They could have done whatever they wanted including public option. They chose not to and passed what they wanted to pass. I knew we were doomed when they brought in the heavy lobbying insurance companies help them figure out what to do. 1 1

Democrats they had the votes, couldn’t get it through their own corrupt party because it’s not what they really wanted. The lobbyists had the insurance companies write the policy. My health care was awesome and cheap 20 years ago. Like usual the government stepped in and made it expensive and crappy and shockingly politicians and corporations got richer too. Like always. when will you people realize giving these idiots more control over your money and life is the wrong idea? Edited April 13, 2023 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1

The D's are also motivated by lobbyist dollars altho providing insurance for 40 mil more Americans would never have been an R priority. Hell, the R's have been trying to rescind Obamacare ever since it was passed. Who do you think the insurance companies have more in their pockets? 1

Maybe skewed more to who is in power at the moment. The ACA had some good things , but it fell FAR short of what President Obama and a Democrat Congress promised which is the point.
