Aetna and Cigna have always been private companies. When were they "privatized?"
He's talking about private companies getting their hooks into more and more of the senior healthcare business.
So "privatized" means trying to grow your business?
It's about the 80 year old grandmother having to fight tooth and nail (or have someone fight for her) to get her healthcare bills paid by companies whose business model, whose means of making as much profit as they can,
is based on collecting as much premium as possible and paying as few claims as possible.
So the fact that they don't give it away for free means they are evil?
Is the grocery store evil because grandma has to "fight tooth and nail" to get food? Can you name one company who's business model doesn't include making as much as they can while keeping their expenses as low as possible?
My credit union. My electric co-op. That's 2. Both of them are designed to break even and because of that,
both of them offer better service at a lower price than do their for-profit counterparts.
