the health insurance companies are heavily regulated by the states..


You know, you keep repeating this as if it means something. The state requires them to be properly funded and to comply with the terms of their own policies.
So what?

The only way they can stay in business is by violating the anti trust laws...

So basically you are saying that insurance companies must function as monopolies. Monopolies, by the way, destroy capitalism since there is no incentive for efficiency or innovation without competition. In essence, what we presently have is no different than a non-competitive government system, plus the greed.

This is what you are promoting, an anti-captalistic protection racket skimming cash from the weak and injured.

I think we have seen enough of this thread. Take this to a political forum elsewhere. This a kayak fishing web site. Thread is locked. 

If you want to start a thread on a political website forum pm me and I will post a link.
