You understand that insurance raises the price of healthcare for everyone, right? That is why the USA has the most expensive healthcare. Add a middleman and you add costs.
Insurance is not a charity which takes care of people in need.
Are you also going to say that California, where I and many others in the industry live, is really politically whatever? TN and CA are very different from one another, yet the are both going to fail to help people get the health insurance they cannot afford.
