much better ways
they could have just gotten rid of the legal monopoly that healthcare companies enjoy and written laws to prevent the most agregious abuses and that would have taken care of the majority fo the problem
I never understand why both parties couldn't get behind repealing the McCarran–Ferguson Act which gives insurance companies exemption from federal anti-trust regulations
Yep. No competition anywhere, they can get as big as they want and do what they want without fear of regulation or the law. They get so big and so powerful that politicians won't touch them.
And now a lot of those insurance companies got integrated with large banks and on and on...
Say, why doesn't the govt. enforce anti-trust laws with the To Big To Fail banks either?
Weird.
