The Incredibles of the Insurance Companies



Sometimes movies gives us a little glimpse about the small truths in our current debates. Fast forward to about 6:40 in this video. I think Mr. Incredible did what most of us have been wanting to do for sometime. RAGE!

Atrios:

What Are They For Again?

John Cole:

Hell, I can’t, for the life of me, figure out what value the insurance companies add at all. Seems like all they do is skim money off the top, add layers of paperwork, and then screw people when they get a serious illness.


This is correct. More than that, most of "health insurance" isn't really insurance at all, except for a bit of catastrophic insurance which they try to avoid paying out.

There really is no reason for them to exist.
