price hikes in health care

[billy]

source;

is it right that a health company who made 2.7billon (not sure what the profit was) can put it's prices up by 39%

personally, i think the twats should be closed down for profiteering and extortion.

I "love" the ending of the article. So now insurance companies are actively dissuading the public from supporting health care reform by threatening to raise premiums (as if their scams would still be relevant once healthcare's been overhauled). Charming.

They're used to ripping their client's off at the worst of times, so why should they stop now?
