People always look for the lowest price. Look at airline deregulation in the 1990s, we ended price controls on air fair and smaller cheaper airlines emerged. Airlines originally kept their fair high but after smaller competitors emerged they where forced to lower their prices.

The ban on shopping for insurance across state lines has allowed insurance companies to monopolize. The lobbyists are in Washington to keep that ban in place.

Why can’t the companies act in collusion to a certain degree to slowly and steadily raise healthcare costs? There is no alternative to health insurance besides paying for everything out of pocket which is far too expensive to be a truly “reasonable” alternative.

By the way OT you haven’t talked back to me on the other thread about abortion in a while, does that mean you give up and admit I was right?
