I didn't say that. They can raise premiums, or they can decide that being in a position where you effectively kill people for profit isn't a great place for a company to operate, and abdicate to the government. Either way, profiting off death you contribute to, is generally a Bad Thing. Based off the UHC CEO's murder and the reactions to it, it seems I am not the only one who thinks this.
> This discussion is not about whether or not the government should pay for everyone's healthcare
Actually, that's precisely one of the options I'm discussing! :)
Point being, pointing out "this is hard for a corporation to do and still make money" doesn't excuse the badness of profiting off your contributions to killing people. Like maybe don't do it as a corporation if it's so hard?
> The American public has already decided that should not be the case, and there should exist a business that adjudicates whether or not an appropriate amount of healthcare and cost is being distributed.
Have they? I must have missed that individual question was explicitly on the ballot as you describe.
