John makes a good comment – of course, keep in mind that the states make insurance company “mandates” – so it is difficult to provide low cost insurance if they have to “guarantee” IVF treatments to 67 year old women, viagra to 98 year old Alzheimer patients, gender changes, and breast augmentation for 9 year old girls….. – I would think that a deregulated insurance company could provide a decent low cost catastrophic policy to people in their 20’s for a very reasonable cost.

Wow! That's a really long reading list! I can't promise to go through all of it. I really need to spend more time on PT and shooting practice, and it would all be preaching to the choir in my case anyway. Besides, I'm feeling optimistic. Remember HillaryCare? If history repeats itself, the Democrats will blow off ObamaCare, and resume trying to curtail our Second Amendment rights. Then they'll lose control of Congress in 2010. We could have another stock market boom. (Please, Lord! Just one more!) If BHO commits a few sexual indiscretions, the next few years could be just as entertaining as the 90s were.

I wonder why no one asks Obama, as they didn’t ask Ms. Clinton, if one knows so much about the prices and costs of medical insurance and is convinced the price should be lower than what’s available in the market, why doesn’t one just start an insurance company and compete for the customers of the other insurance companies, the ones overcharging and underservicing?

If one is right in his suppositions about medical costs and insurance prices, s/he makes a good deal of money. If wrong, no tax money is misused, and competition remains viable, although the ones presently convinced of their expertise will probably take a financial bath.
