No snappy transition for you there, I guess.

I'll just refer you to the profit margins of the companies left that I listed. "The six largest investor-owned health insurance companies saw a 22 percent increase in combined net income in the third quarter, putting them on pace to break profit records for 2010." Hey, capitalism is good, Paulo. If crappy companies couldn't compete, they deserve to be gone. Don't lament it. It's the free market.
And closing the donut hole saves money because people then can afford to purchase and take their medications - for diabetes, their heart problems, high blood pressure, etc - which decreases the cost of their lifetime health care. So it's an expenditure that pays bigger savings dividends in both health costs and better health. Like people having health insurance and being seen at the start of problems is better than not treating them until they end up in crisis in an emergency room.
