-This is another issue I don't think should break down along party lines --insurance reform. I can't understand why only dems are supposed to be for it, while most repubs are suppose to be against it. this should be a bipartisan issue.
-Good capitalism should have the following core principle: produce a good product/service and make a reasonable profit. DO that and you'll continue getting customers, making your product, growing your wealth and teh wealth of your workers, etc.
-The dark shadow of capitalism is the human failing called greed which can lead to exploitation of workers and customers.
-Now enter teh insurance companies. The focus of insurance companies should be to produce a good product/service and make a reasonable profit. However, in some insurance companies the focus has been to make big profits and provide a promised product that no one gets to look at until some time in the distant future. Too often when the product actually arrives on our door step its not what was promised. Now enter the government which does have a role here to protect the consumer. A valid governemnt role is to prevent/punish crime, whether it be a mugging in the street or a mugging from the board room.
-We need insurance company reform. A lot of insurance companies are good, Unfortunately alot aren't. I believe government regulation --and enforcement--are necessary here for such things as carryovers of insurance from job to job, pre-existing condition acceptance, no drops once a person gets sick, etc. The health insurance companies are not here to make profits, they are here to provide a good product/service for us that makes a honest profit for them.
-Effective health care reform requires progress on many fronts; insurance company reform is one of them. Others are doing away with waste, preventing fraud, tort reform, increase in doctor/nursing schools, preventing special interest support to political races, etc
-Fixing teh health care system should be less about party politics and more about good management practices.
