This!! This is so important to me, I work in health care and have been a consumer of course for years. I've dealt with socialized medicine (military coverage) and private insurers. I have been saying for years that insurance companies are out to protect their bottom line well above your health. I am thankful that I now work for a Not For Profit hospital rather than an insurance company.
So many people, when discussing universal health care, will say, "I don't want the government deciding whether I can be treated or not". My comeback is always, "so you're okay with the insurance companies deciding what treatments you can have"?

                                        Oh!! You hit that nail so squarely on the head!!!! Thank you!!
For profit, no less.
All the more reason for a universal system of basic health care, with compulsory contributions adjusted for circumstances - as in most of Europe.
