Jim complain to the link and whats is in it.. he has no plan. what he is saying should have been done over the past 8 years instead of how many repeal attempts ...

in the US there are only 41 heath insurance company's and 11 Supplemental insurance company

Sadly there are not enough insurance company's to promote competition Trumps just playing to the uninformed who buy into the competition will lower prices ..

From the Party who supports 26 cable company's ... no Competition there

Speaking of the past 8 years, why didn't the Democrats pass Obama care during the first 2 years when they had complete control of the government. What kept them from turning this country into the utopia they want during the first 2 years of the Hussien Obama presidency.

A Presidential candidate doesn't have to have a fleshed out "plan." He may have an overall "vision" for the country described in vote catching phrases, but the vision would have to be made real by Congress which would also create the details. Or more accurately, the details would be written by some regulatory agency, which is constitutionally questionable. Or, the President could put on his dictator's hat and make various executive orders and have regulatory agencies make them happen. Which is even more constitutionally questionable. But who cares about constitutionality when we have gone so far beyond it that we think the President is supposed to have the responsibility for planning the direction and functioning of the country.

41 health insurance companies? Where did you get that number? That's funny, because at my company where I work , one of the insurance products we sell, is stop-loss insurance to health insurance companies. In other words, our customers, are health insurance companies. And even though we are a small player in that space, we have insurance policies with more than 50 health insurance companies.

Health insurance is expensive, but the profit margins in that business, are a bit below average, for profit margins for all markets - around 6% - 8%. So even if you made them profit-free, that doesn't save a ton.

Health insurance is expensive, because the thing being 'insured' (Healthcare) is very expensive. It's not because the health insurance companies are gouging. I have no idea how to make it cheaper, but we need to start by admitting the truth.
