"Health Company Paid its Workers Bonuses to Cancel Patient Policies"

Since profit is the ultimate goal then any actions taken to realize a profit are justified – even if it means working against the customer.

    For a market to be FREE there would have to be no insurance companies standing between a person and a doctor and forcing the prices to their maximum.

    Protection rackets are detrimental to the free market and are more a product of capitalism, the unfortunate byproduct of the Free Market.

    Yes.

    No, it’s an example of a company that is almost totally controlled by Democrat-written law looking for ways to stay in business
    As 100% of the non-retarded know, working against the customer CANNOT be profitable unless government FORCE is involved.

    For what little it is worth to a statist like you who absolutely loves the government, Medicare and Medicaid deny more claims than any insurance companies.

    The health insurance industry makes its money from policies. People buy policies and when
    the bills are higher than the premiums, then the money comes from the other policy holders.
    It costs me money. If the costs go too high, I have to quit the policy. The company looses too
    many healthy people’s policies, then the company cannot make money or pay the doctors and
    hospitals.
    When people loose their jobs, they drop their insurance. Most companies lay off by juniority, so
    the older workers are retained and the younger workers are gone. The younger workers usually
    use less healthcare. The more expensive workers remain and the prices must go up to cover the
    loss of healthy workers. That is the main reason insurance is going up so quickly.
    Want to bring down insurance costs? Create real jobs.

    Yes, it is.

    Now here is an example of socialized, public option health insurance at work:

    No it’s a company that scrubs it’s enrollment papers and finds out that people lied and cheated on their form and didn’t fully disclose everything. From your same source: Notice the spin of the wording, "often accidental errors" now how is an insurance company suppose to know that your error was accidental and how does the DMHC know it is? That’s the same claim you democrats claimed when the people of Florida voted for Bush vs Gore. "They made a mistake on their ballot."

    Since 2005, the DMHC has been investigating five of the seven insurance companies that provide health care plans to individuals in California. The department is attempting to crack down on the practice among insurers of dropping people’s coverage based on often accidental errors in their enrollment applications.
