I don't know how anyone can argue for private profit while our service members are putting their lives on the line for us at home. Unfortunately, the word "war" no longer is a bad word. Instead of being a horrible act, its a tool of foreign diplomacy. War in our country has become an acceptable form of maintaining the status quo for a few while distracting the majority from the problems here at home...like poverty, healthcare, and our children's education.

Worldwide, most insurors who deal in health insurors are require3d to be non-profits. We are the lone exception. Maybe we need to attack the concept of profitting on human misery, such as war and sickness. Congratulations on your first blog.

I think it'd be a little harder to convince anyone that a war was worth the horrible costs if one of those costs was their bottom line!

That is so obviously fair that I can't believe it's never been seriously proposed. Of course, some corporations might find ways to cook their books, but others would step up and do their patriotic duty. Wouldn't they? Yes!
