If there was a story to indicate the problems with the American for-profit healthcare system, this is it. Aetna is planning to dump 600,000 policy holders to make sure the company turns a profit. This story sums up the problem with the American healthcare system. Health insurance companies make money by denying people coverage. You pay them a premium, and they make money by denying or delaying your service. That is the only way they make money.
Insurance companies don't make a product, all they do is provide lousy service. They are blood-sucking middle men, who profit by slowing down service to patients and payments to doctors. Healthcare is a business which simply does not work on the for profit system. The healthcare companies are also following the policies of Corporate America, where companies raise profits by laying off workers.
