The estimating? Try googling "health care costs" and take your choice of several thousand. Watch it rise over the past 40 years, while benefits drop like a rock and denial, recission skyrocket.

Escalating health care costs is kinda why there's this whole "health care reform" debate thing, been going on for a couple decades now

?? Of course I demonize private insurance companies. Their interest is not my health, or your health, it is making a profit. They are a virtually unregulated industry that does whatever it wants to the people that buy policies, and they do it when people are sick and need their insurance most.

Well, if it's going down next year, that'll be a first! Hyperbole aside, the ins companies would rather have a healthy customer to keeep paying the premiums.

??? Nobody said it was going down. It was going UP.

And yes, insurance companies would rather have healthy customers to pay premiums, not unhealthy ones they have to give money do. That is why they dump them.
