That we need a more limited federal government!? Can we all agree that that is true? Why or why not?
I think we do. I'm not saying no federal government, just a more limited one which doesn't regulate every aspect of our lives.

I wish it were that simple. We definitely need a more effective government. I think they are overinvolved in some parts of our lives and not involved enough in others.

So insurance companies can charge whatever they want, and we foot the bill...

Who foots the bill? If you don't like what an insurance company charges switch to another one.
What business is it of the federal gov't what kind of light bulb I use in my house? If I want to use the least efficient bulb possible and pay the bill associated with it, who's business is that? No ones.
or those milking unemployment, social security disability, food stamps, medicare, medicaid and on and on......
Switch to the other one who is also charging whatever they want, right? I suppose if they're all charging prices I cant afford, and I dont like, I should just not get insurance, right?
Its not the business of the government, nor will it ever be their business. If you want to pay more for outdated technology, then thats your businessOriginally Posted by Browning151

They charge what the market will support, just like any other product or service so what's your point? We should set a maximum that an insurance company can charge for their product? Where does that stop? Food, cars, clothes, utilities? When enough people take their business to a competitor that is cheaper they will either lower their prices to be competitive or go out of business, that's how our system works. Well that's how it's supposed to work anyway, if the gov't would get their nose out of trying to pick who succeeds and who fails.
I don't like how much McDonalds charges for a cheese burger, can we get the gov't to regulate those next? Or maybe they can just take over McDonalds and subsidize cheeseburgers with taxpayer money so we can all get a cheeseburger for $.25, we all have a right to eat after all don't we?
