The system has been designed in such a way that their profitability is enhanced by these actions. As proper capitalists they are doing what they are supposed to do: maximize shareholder value. <br /><br />The only way to make a corporation act ethically is to align the rules of the game with ethics. If you make it so that insurance companies make the most profit by taking care of people's health then that will happen. If you leave the system as it is where taking care of people is actually in conflict with profits... well, let's just say you shouldn't be surprised.<br /><br />Change the system and we won't have to trust these people to do the right thing. They do what they do, not because they are pricks, but because that's what we've told them to do. Tell them something else and maybe we'll get a workable health care system.sternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245940881311545520noreply@blogger.com
