re: #128 Obdicut

The amount of regulation that would be necessary to make the health insurance companies actually provide health insurance in a sane, reasonable fashion would be so onerous— since the free market for health insurance rewards health insurance companies that have the fewest actually sick people as customers, among other reasons— that I don’t see any compelling reason to keep the companies private.

The health insurance industry is not a free market. I have much respect for the doctors and nurses who do the hard work, but it is a total clusterfuck of a system administrative-wise.
