Wow, what's way more impressive than this new rule is that Forbes printed a well reasoned, non-ideologic article. Never thought I'd see that day come.

Actually, I think this is a good rule. 20% of what they collect is still a shit load of money. I won't be shedding a tear for them. IMO it should be illegal for health insurance companies to be publicly traded. Their profits mean your loss; that's the only way the math can add up.

Forbes! Does seem odd, doesn't it?

Yes, it seems that any essential service might be better provided when costs and expenses were either at parity, or subsidized. People would laugh if you said the fire department should have to turn a profit. Why a hospital?
