The insurance companies opposing the healthcare reform are not trying to promote a free market; they want to retain their power to manipulate the prices consumers pay for insurance, and the prices they have to pay for medical care. Unfortunately, it looks like they killed the repeal of the antitrust exception yet again. Dammit!
Sorry to go OT.

You really can't blame the healthcare crisis on the insurance companies alone.
Myself, if I can't fix your problem, I won't bill ya.
Suppose I'd starve to death as a doctor. At least wouldn't be driving a Mercedes.
