When it comes to insurance company profits thru government sponsored insurance like Medicare and Tricare, I think we all would agree about such profitability, and it should
not become a partisan topic.
My point is this: To say that the political leanings of AARP d.b.a. United Healthcare "do not matter" is to say that.....
...their lobbying money and
power and push for single payer "government" healthcare "does not matter"......
.....
even though THEY, AARP-UHC would likely be the "single payer", making unfathomable profits from it.
They're almost the public-sector plans' "single-payer" already, profiting off their sales of Medicare, Medicaid, federal, state and local government
employee healthcare plans, and even Tricare plans for veterans.
Elizabeth Edwards, rest in peace, understood and voiced extremely well the problem with UHC in this interview, where she speaks about healthcare at the 2 minute mark.
She also stated
a clear distinction that needs to be made between government-run and UHC-run, but that concept apparently died with her, bless her soul......
