Insurance Companies

Should Profit be their main objective or should it be providing good health care to you and me? Don’t these priorities conflict?

If I support Obama’s plan of moving closer towards universal health care coverage why I are republicans claiming I am in favor of the Government running my life….I just want good health care coverage and not to be screwed around by my own health insurance providor.

Profit should never be involved with health care. If the goal is to make money, then your well being is secondary and you will never get the best care possible.
Its sad that any person here is at risk of losing their home and savings if they get sick. And you’re fooling yourself if you think you have good coverage and you’ll be just fine.

Look at this website:

Insurance companies rate as #22 in industry profits. There are 21 other industries that performed better than insurance.

Nearly top of the list are the pharmaceuticals, but no one dares to criticize them. No Democrat is talking about tort reform either.

Could it be because Democrats take political contributions from the pharmaceuticals and high profile attorneys, and not from the insurance companies? I guarantee you, if insurance companies contributed to Dems, and lawyers contributed to Repubs, then Pelosi would be screaming "Tort Reform".
to answer someone’s question: No, I didn’t really need an answer, but wrote the question just to vent.
Just look at the financial sector: The senate finance committee received high contributions from AIG while they were in good standing. AIG got bailed out, didn’t they?
And progressive is not among the top health insurance companies. AARP has always been about Democrats because the Dems make lots of promises to seniors so they vote Democrat

californians should be embarrassed by that skank.

and you can vet as much as you want. listening to others opinions make all of us better people. except liberals, its either their way or no way. then they call you names.

Due to my insurance I am basically stuck picking a name blindly from my provider directory. Does anyone know of a site where they do psychologist reviews or any other place I may get some background on the one I made an appointment with? There is no info on the insurance companies site and i did several searches and nothing came up. thanks.

I just want to know if I got married and kept my maiden name and I still currently live with my parents, will the car insurance company know I’m married without me actually telling them? do they have ways of finding that stuff out? the only reason I’m asking is cause I’m currently on my dad’s insurance (only car though, not his health insurance). and I don’t want my parents to know I’m married quite yet (for reasons that aren’t really important to this question). but I’m gonna be finding my own car insurance soon but I just wanted to know in the meantime will they find out and tell my dad?

It really doesn’t matter if they find out or not. Like others have said, they cannot give out information about you, so even if they find out, that doesn’t mean they’ll tell your parents.

Secondly, its ok to be married and still be on your parents’ auto insurance policy. Also, getting married lowers your rates, so its not like the insurance company will be dying to give you a discount.

My car insurance policy expires at the end of the month, but I’m moving to NYC in August and don’t feel like bringing my car along. Are there any car insurance companies that offer single month terms?

over the say next ten years, I plan to put some cheap furniture in it and visit about 1 time a year before hurricane season.

Dream on, one of the reasons it looks as bad as it does down there is that the insurance companies still haven’t paid out.
They claim that the damage was caused by something they don’t cover, flooding, even when its clear it was caused by wind driven rain, which they do.
I guess you also don’t know that they inspect the house before they insure it. So if you want to run a con, you are going to have to try harder.
I had a house fire a number of years ago, they put you through hell before they lay out a dime. It was so bad I miscarried.
Find another way to commit fraud.

Does any one know an auto insurance company that basically will just keep me legal. I really can’t spend that much on it. A lot of the cheap companies I heard of do not operate in NJ.

Several methods you may think about.Like do the online quote yourself or call your local insurance agent for their help,it is up to you.

do you think such a thing could ever happen, give the amount of profits that are at stake?

do you think such a thing could happen within the next 25 years? how about within 50 years?

If they pass, no when, the public option the death knell for insurance companies will sound clearly. There is no way they can compete with the government at first because the government has our tax dollars to steal.
