| If the insurance industry only wanted new customers |
|
why did AHIP work to kill the Clinton managed care health plan that mandated coverage?

| 2. I saw Frontline the other night, it was about health care reform in Switzerland |
|
They mandate insurance there. We have a long way to go to making a program that good but they still started out mandating insurance. All the major industrial nations with national health care plans do that.

Claiming that the government was taking health insurance out of the hands of private corporations always gets a rise out of people, too.

| 14. They are going to get millions of new customers |
|
and billions of dollars. Maybe they were waiting till the time was right for a health insurance mandate to be plausible.

from a pimple to a pregnancy.
Sure they love being held accountable.
