History shows that the Biggest Health Care insurance companies have a track record of criminal activity ripping off policy holders and the American Taxpayers' in general. Why do we continue to do business with these corrupt and greedy corporations. Why is there little effort on the part of our duly elected politicians in both parties to make examples by shutting these providers down and stripping the executives of their illegal profiteering? Too big to fail. What a load of malarkey. Bring Medicare Advantage back into Traditional Medicare since these greedy businesses have NOT learned their lesson that they cannot exploit and make profit over patient care. These companies have demonstrated for years that they are only in the business for making money off of patient victims, and nothing else. If that is not the case, why have the providers already indicated that they will raise prices double-digit for 2025. Maybe they don't care that they violate the Medicare Trust Fund and those obligated to enforce policy at the CMS. If they are powerful enough to talk down to government officials and exploit paid policy holders, then they must be brazen enough to spend the rest of their lives in prison on involuntary murder charges. Something has to be done, and we have had enough cheap talk and lies and deception from the US Congress and Senate. Get off your posterior ends and shake up the System instead of supporting the illegitimate status quo that is helping no one except these obscenely deplorable private Health Insurance Companies. These companies are an embarrassment to our Nation, and the US Congress are not much better when they kowtow to the private industry.

I am not sure when you will start to realize that government allocated rules and profiteering for those with lobbying power make a match that combines incompetence and greed into one cake batter. Of course MAP’s did not work. Nor does traditional Medicare..This combo will not taste good and the consumer already overpaid for the cake that tastes like ****.! Wake up and stop peddling your universal healthcare crap. Yes, let’s replace the oligopoly with a monopoly! What could go wrong? It is time to stand up for the patient-physician relationship! Get on board, man!!

Billionaires OR democracy? We choose billionaires.

Mid stage climate collapse is past. Billionaires, like Shingles, don’t care.
