Don't operate,

Don't regulate,

LIBERATE healthcare.


Government regulations are already in place and they have been a major factor in driving up the cost of insurance. Regulations prevent insurance companies from operating over state lines, like auto insurance companies are free to do.


Regulations already HAVE "standardized" insurance plans, making them far more expensive than they need to be and the mandate is responsible for eliminating such affordable options as catastrophic care insurance.


Nurses are barred from engaging in more productive activities because of the malpractice insurance doctors and hospitals must have and government refuses to pass tort reform to limit monetary awards in suits and eliminate frivolous suits by instituting a loser pays system.


Lower costs and better service are a result of competition. The regulations already on health insurance companies prevent such competition from taking place but ensure companies certain strangleholds over their territories, which is why they have jumped on board for the proposed "reforms" of the healthcare system... It would strengthen their regional monopolies and eliminate further competition.
