Guns or Butter?

Toby is a hard working American who, like most hard working Americans, needs medical care from time to time. Toby has what is euphemistically referred as "health insurance". What it, "health insurance", is is a corporate bank account into which a person deposits money. Once a person deposits their money in the "health insurance" corporate bank account they have to get sick or injured to get any of it back.
Now at that point you are clearly not doing all that well to begin with - - you are sick or injured! You need that money, and maybe even a little bit more, back - out of the "health insurance corporate bank account.
Ah, ha. Now, as we all know, this is a capitalist country and businesses are in business in capitalist countries to make a profit, - money, lots of money, as much money as they can con people into letting them get away with. Does this sound good for your chances of getting money back from the health insurance corporate bank account?
Remember that for every dollar they have to give you, it is one dollar less for them. Uh oh, not so good. . . . for you that is. It has been extraoridinarily good for the corporate executives taking home millions, and in some cases tens, and yes in a few cases, a hundred million dollars is cash, stock and options. And what do they do for their money? . . . . . . . ' got me. They don't doctor, nurse, medicate, hospitalize, treat, or otherwise contribute to the health care of the people who put money into the corporate bank account.
Guns or butter. Obscene profit or quality health care. If you were the CEO of a health care insurance company what would you do? - Make the right choice - win a hundred million dollars.
