Of course they are. They're incentivized to make money, not pay it out. I'm completely baffled that people would rather this system than a universal healthcare system simply because they don't want a poor person to have insurance because they're "not pulling their weight". And that's the reason. "Hard working, red blooded Amerikans don't need anything taken away from them by them poor folk that don't wanna work!". ugh.
- z9e 7y agoYeah, this system needs to be refactored for sure. But the counter argument to universal healthcare isn't as basic as you outline. It really comes down to how do we pay for it. Healthcare costs are ridiculous, and so is our deficit. The counter argument is more in that realm, and you painting it as "they don't want a poor person to have insurance" is not helping the discussion.
