There is no reason for these insurance companies to be in the health care business. They bankrupt and kill people with claim denials.
Each day,
273 people die due to lack of health care in the U.S.; that's 100,000 deaths per year.
We need

Republinazi '93 plan: "Subtitle F: Universal Coverage - Requires each citizen or lawful permanent resident to be covered under a qualified health plan or equivalent health care program by January 1, 2005."
