-re-train their unproductive, obfuscatory paper pushers to be health care professionals who can actually help people get better (instead of wearing out fax machines)

-reduce the overhead of GM, Ford, United Airlines and every other large company in America by hundreds of billions of dollars within 12 months

-make every senior executive of every health insurance company work a mandatory 500 hours community service in a hospital

-provide better health care to more people for less money

-and keep the change??
Because all of that would favour people who are poor or hard strapped. Nobody cares about them because they are a nasty hinderance to insurance companies' bottom lines.
