More power to them. Nothing wrong with being wealthy.

Biggest lobby in Washington, the for-profit healthcare industry.

Seems rather stupid on the part of the consumer, doesn't it? You hire a for-profit firm, you give them the sole power to say "yes" or "no" to paying for your health care per the contract you've signed, yet they can void the contract at any time, and they only make money when they don't pay for the health care you've hired them to give you?

Weird consumers, America. Protecting and encouraging the very industry denying them health care.

Most medical bankruptcies are people that have health insurance. Why is that?
