It's gonna get worse in the next 1-3 years. Rates are skyrocketing, millions more people will be dropped.

If a private company makes it's profit on well people - not sick people - you sure don't give that company carte blanche to "do what's right" by, and take care of, sick people!

You can't blame insurance companies - they are a private business. They do not exist to help sick people. They exist to make money. That means that sick people are their financial enemy. Insurance companies enjoy a huge monopoly over one-sixth of our national economy, completely favorable laws and anti-trust environments, a captive audience who literally needs them to live, and zero accountability to anyone.

I read the other day that congress overwhelmingly voted to eliminate the insurance companies antitrust exemption.

Is this true and if it is couldnt it help?

important technicality, it was the House who voted for it overwhelmingly.

That bill now sits, with many other bills, waiting for the Senate to vote on it, before it could become law.

The GOP not been allowing many House bills to come to a Senate vote, because they have been obstructing everything. There is a huge backlog. When this bill comes, the GOP has already said they will not allow it to come to a vote. They will filibuster it.
