... and no I do not work for the government just to make things clear.

And, you, I take it work for health insurance. I used to work in health insurance way back when so hopefully I'm not totally ignorant of all things that go on within the industry.

Typo - I meant to say "I doubt very much health insurers will fall on the wayside like so many would like you to believe, but will adapt and even thrive in the face of competition."

Why does health care reform have to be seen as such a negative for health insurance companies? If nothing else, it forces them to streamline their operations, and reduce waste and red tape thus lowering cost. Such actions can be seen as nothing more than a good thing from any investors in these companies.

For health care consumers, a national health care plan just increases choice. I doubt very much health care insurers will fall on the wayside like so many would like you too, but will adapt and even thrive in the face of competition. For the uninsured and those soon to lose their coverage because of the tough economy, it provides a much needed safety net.
