OMG! They make profits?
Finally, you let it slip. The evil "P" word.
Personally, I would never do business with an insurance company that
did not make a profit. Contracting with a unprofitable company would
mean only 2 things; either rates would have to be raised
significantly in the near future, or worse, they'd be unable to pay
claims when the day came that I'd need them. (This is what is likely
to happen with the non-profit "public option" when it happens, which
is inevitable)
And as industries go, the health insurance industry is no where near
the top of the list in terms of profit margin. You need to do some
research beyond DNC press releases before regurgitating lines like
that. Your audience here is a bit more sophisticated than MSNBC's.
