re: #41 Mattand

she has a point… premiums are going up. In certain narrow windows, they’re going up a lot… why?

Because its seems that insurance companies are having a hard time being efficient and remaining as profitable as they like. So, instead of competing with each other in the open marketplace, the insurance industry is divvying up the country into regional fiefdoms, reducing competition and setting up their own areas of influence.

Now could some of this have been foreseen? Maybe? The thing is, instead of the big guys being played off of each other driving prices down, they’re colluding making it easier to set price fixing because they’re the only one providing a service.

What does the GOP plan to do… shitcan the whole thing and allowing their overheads to spiral again with no price containment at all. won’t even let the Dems try and fix it because its in their interest not to.

What does that mean for your single Mom, she’s pissed and rightfully so and she’s taking it out on the people that got her the insurance to begin with, as opposed to the people that are preventing the competition and screwing the marketplace, namely the insurance companies and the GOP. Problem is, that shit don’t fit on a bumper sticker.
