Blue Cross refers to themselves as a private insurer in their press releases and you specifically attacked private insurers so for some odd reason, I thought you meant private insurers. If you want people to understand you, you have to use agreed upon definitions.

If you're saying that there's no problems with how Blue Cross conducts its business, then why aren't they the desperately needed competition to whatever fits your definition of private insurers? If they aren't ripping people off, why doesn't the government just allow everyone the option of Blue Cross as their mandatory provider and subsidize the poor's premiums as I stated? Thats an alternative to my private insurer we can live with. Actually, it is my private insurer.
