well the main problem is how this system can and likely will be exploited. After all someone can pay the fine which is cheaper than insurance rates. When they do get sick, because insurance companies can’t turn away for preexisting conditions, they can just go to an insurance company and say they need them to cover the cost. People like this are going to make the insurance companies have to charge more so they can maintain a profit. In essence, the people who do the “right” thing are going to get punished for it. It’s one of those things that looks good on paper but implementing it will lead to all kinds of problems.
why is it that someone’s health is inferior to a companies profit numbers? So when a person exploits a company it’s the end of the world but when a company exploits millions, well that’s just good business. That’s the problem.
Corporations have the same rights as people (thank you conservative supreme court), so logically they are just as greedy and vicious as any other individual (if not more so). Like i said before, it’s one thing to find ways to sell a *edited*ing car or product, but when dealing with people, health should come before the profit. Denying someone a car or cellphone won’t kill a person, denying coverage potentially can.
“The best wealth is health.” – Joe Biden quoting some greek dude.
It’s not that the insurance companies profits are more important.
But in that scenario it bankrupts the insurance companies, and then you’re stuck with the government’s health care. Which has already been proven to be able to ration care.
