SicKo- Seen it?

Happy Monkey · 07-24-2007, 01:21 PM

How would stopping collusion change the fact that their best business model is to not pay out? If collusion were successfully eliminated, the theory would be that one (or more) of them would actually start paying claims, word would get out, and they would get all the business, right? Couldn't a company do that now, and steal all the business away from the cartel?

I think that the people who want to deny surgeries are in all of the companies, regardless of collusion. In a country where shareholders can sue successfully if a company fails to do something that could have helped the bottom line, how can you prevent it?
