    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    1. I will pay for health insurance but not to a private company. Those companies have broad and sweeping power to deny coverage after I jave been paying premiums for years. My only recourse would be to bring a "bad faith" coverage litigation in state court, which could be expensive. Some...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    Congressional studies have indicated that more than 30% of each health care dollar goes to administrative costs, marketing and profits for private insurers. These costs, however, are not carried by a public insurer. So the Public Option can operate 30% cheaper than a private insurer. And...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    You must be talking about the prices doctors charge for a checkup. But a large number of Americans are not receiving discounts for cash as you suggest: "Bankruptcies due to medical bills increased by nearly 50 percent in a six-year period, from 46 percent in 2001 to 62 percent in 2007, and most...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    I would be more than happy to exclude the insurance company if the doctors and hospitals agree to treat me at the same price I would pay to an insurance company. Few people could pay cash for health care because they will be charged exorbitant rates. So your proposal seems unrealistic. I don't...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    Most businesses time their expenses with their revenues. Its a procedure known as "matching". If a business receives its revenues during a certain time of the year its policies will require claims to be submitted after the revenues are received. If expenses outweigh revenues at some point then...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    If your "job" consist of thinking up new ways to deny health coverage to the sick; then you need to find a new line of work. When insurance companies deny coverage to one of their policyholders; the rest of us must pay for the person when they visit the emergency room. That means we are allowing...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    What labor does a health insurance person provide??? Do we really need this middle-man taking a portion of our health care dollar for non-medical purposes??? This outdated method of insurance will eventually be scrapped or lead us into bankruptcy. We are the only advanced nation that operates...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    That dog don't hunt no more. While it is true that capitalism spurs innovation; the health insurance industry doesn't create anything except new ways to deny coverage. No human; no socialist or capitalist; wants to die because of a business decision. Let the capitalist compete for the markets in...

    FACT CHECK: Health insurer profits not so fat

    You should fire your CPA. Profit is the amount of money left over AFTER operating expenses have been subtracted from your assets. There are no profits if your assets do not exceed liabilities. You can't have $940 million of expenses next year with just $60 million to cover them because a...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    Mostly old folks get their news from the radio because they were born in an era when television was not prevalent and radio was king. These senior citizens tend to be more conservative in their political philosophy. Liberals have far more diverse selection of news providers NY Times, Wash. Post...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    I never said uneducated conservatives were "retards" or that educated liberals "see the light". My only point is that people with post-graduate degrees tend to be liberal; and if MSNBC was looking to hire "smart" reporters as Griffen alleges in his interview; then he would probably see more...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    Hannity, O'Riely, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Lou Dobbs. All of them told us that despite Democratic registration numbers a late break of Independents for McCain could be the difference in key states :roll:. My anger at the media arises from the fact that their bogus news stories caused us to...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    Democrats definitely need a new urban policy. But to say that we have done anything that would enrage black people is absurd. We pass hate crimes legislation to increase penalties for racially motivated crimes. We fund the historically black colleges that help open the door of opportunity for...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    My point was that PA was symbolic of what happened throughout the nation in states McCain was supposed to win (FL, VA, OH, IN, NC). Even though Democrats registered a record number of new voters, the media told us that the mysterious Independents would rise up and sweep McCain into victory in...

    White House attacks worry moderate Democrats

    This may be a sign of just how far the American right is away from the rest of the world. If I'm being attacked as a right-winger then the world must view the American right as some sort of caveman.
