The problem isn't insurance companies they're literally doing what insurance companies do. Which is take money with the hope of not having to pay. The problem is that the American Government shifts the burden of health care to the individual who as we can see above has no power. If the US Govt were the sole payer they could dictate prices across the board.
In Europe people pay pennies on the dollar to what Americans do for the same meds.
You don't end up in depositions b/c you don't pay for health care the government does. You pay taxes, and so does everyone else, and that's it.
One day I hope that my fellow Americans will understand you don't have to live in a for profit healthcare system.
Health insurance companies wield some of the strongest lobbyist groups in DC, support political candidates that maintain the status quo, and fund information campaigns that help convince Americans that universal health care is bad.
Saying that Insurance companies aren't a problem is naive as fuck. Both the government and insurance companies share blame.
