Why does a health insurer have more money than what they know what to do with? How were they able to extract so much wealth if they were providing a competitive service?

Why don’t they just lower premiums so that more people can afford to see a doctor? Or provide better coverage so fewer people would go bankrupt when diagnosed with an “expensive” condition?

Why is buying real estate a better investment than saving lives?

>... providing a competitive service

They are not providing a competitive service. When I get my health coverage from work, I only have one or two options. And the prices are already set.

>...just lower premiums

In effect, that's what Medicaid does.

>...provide better coverage... expensive condition

This program is preventing the expensive conditions. That's better for everyone. I'd much rather not get sick than have enough money to pay for treating the sickness.

> Why is buying real estate a better investment than saving lives?

Because you get the same outcome (healthier people) for less money. It's win-win.

Why do you believe that they are only working on real estate?

Why do you think they are idiots?
