All the arguments against for profit healthcare apply to for profit anything. Yet, the USSR failed.

You can thank the government along with Democrats for the problem you cited because that's the result of massive government regulations.

Remove the regulations so that people can decide what to insure against.

Currently, I have problems that insurance company refuses to pay, but that's not what I bought insurance for. I don't hate the insurance companies, but I hate the government and those who support more regulations.

If we have universal health care, your sister would be deciding who needs to die. It's called death panel.
Why do they refuse to pay?

Do you know what Cobra insurance is? Maybe you should go look it up so you don't look quite so ignorant. You can't just decide to sign up for Cobra, you have to have to be in an employer's plan to begin with. Most people who get their insurance through the ACA do so because they don't have employer health insurance.

Now, lets remember what you stated, the full quote, so you won't be able to go backwards....
Insurance companies exist to make a profit. To do so, they deny as many claims as possible. If you don't understand that, there's nothing I can do to help you.

But thank you for reminding me why I usually have you on ignore. Back you go.

Conservatives condemn anyone who challenges health insurance companies.

Conservatives will support health insurance companies if they treat the insured with contempt; if they refuse to make payouts; if their negligence or intentional actions cause greater injury or death.

In other words, these health insurance companies are given carte blanche to treat them or loved ones with utter content and they will approve.

WAIT.......They will object if the insurance company wrongs them, just not anyone else. They're expendable. You know because they are pro-life.

Conservatives apparently want to go back to the good old days. Like when Dickens was around.
Conservatives operate on a "I've got mine, so to heck with you!" mentality. They want their roads paved, but won't pay a dime to pave yours, cuz taxes = stealing mah money! Same applies to schools, police, firemen, the army, etc. They support big business putting profits above people, but still expect to keep their job - but you can lose yours if it makes their stocks go up. And, of course, they want their healthcare to be affordable, but don't care about you or your healthcare situation.

If we're talking Dickens, Scrooge before he was visited by the ghosts of Christmas is their ideal; afterwards, he was a socialist wimp who cared about others. I bet he didn't even own any guns, either - wimp!.

Prove what? That insurance companies' number one goal is to make money? You really need me to prove that to you?
why not buy insurance? why be uninsured?

Apparently you never have heard of it, since you don't know what it is or how one gets it.

I know someone who got approved for a surgery from Aetna. But after it was performed Aetna refused to pay for the anesthesia, said it was unnecessary.

You need to slap harder, then maybe you can understand...

Option 2: Sign up for COBRA coverage

You may be able to keep your job-based health plan through COBRA continuation coverage.
COBRA is a federal law that may let you pay to stay on your employee health insurance for a limited time after your job ends (usually 18 months). You pay the full premium yourself, plus a small administrative fee.

Oh look, when a person is provided facts, they put you on ignore...

YOU STILL did not answer my question, I knew you never would, but lets, for one last time and laughs and giggles see what you stated:
