Ask hard insurance questions

I have been reading the articles that came out in regards to the Supreme Court decision on the health care overhaul and am dismayed how businesses only think of the bottom line, not about the millions of Americans who are without insurance and cannot afford it because of high premiums and co-pays.

If businesses feel this will hurt the bottom line, then fix the problem. Repealing this law will not do nothing for those uninsured Americans; it will only put a feather in the cap of business groups.

Business groups need to stand up to the insurance companies and ask the hard questions. Why does it cost this to have this procedure? What are the people getting for the premiums they pay if they do not use the insurance for years?

Interview those who do not have insurance. Not having insurance affects the bottom line of the family.
