They are.

Investors, CEO's, CFO's, etc are all people.

Why should they be made to keep people when their income falls?

They are called "greedy pigs", but you are being responsible?

It's basically the same thing. When you need to cut services, you do.....without regard for the people that you effect.
This is more conservative fantasyland stuff.

The vast overwhelming majority of Americans don't know and don't care which companies are firing people unless it impacts their lives or their families lives.

There is almost zero negative downsides to employers that fire people.

This is what I mean about this fantasy shyt, there are nearly zero laws to keep employers from firing people, there are no penalties for companies firing people, it happens all the time with thousands, and thousands of businesses every day, week, month, year, there are zero protests, and yet in this guys imagination companies are viciously attacked when they fire people.

Those are people within a corporation, they are not the actual corporation.

Also, why should they lay off people when their income increase? That does happen a lot.

Sure, depending on the income level and the cost of living in that area and as long as that doesnt rule out people with "pre-existing conditions" which is a made up term from insurance companies.

Successful, profitable businesses run lean and mean.

Covering people with pre-existing conditions isn't insurance.

What laws would you like to see to force employers to keep employees under any circumstances?

Should you be forced to continue paying for the services that you pay for even when your income drops?

This is exactly why liberalism is a mental disorder.

Or those that make the most money by sacrificing quality by adding more work to fewer employees.

The point I am making is insurance companies shouldn't be turning people away because healthcare should be affordable and accessible to everyone.
