Why that would stifle private enterprise. Be better if a big insurance
corp, yeah like AIG, yeah. Hold on, isn't AIG owned by Uncle Sam (Not
the Walton, the other one.)???

So let's see: that would be like if one manufacturer XYZ, negotiated a
supply chain contract with another company PDQ, to produce sub-
assemblies for XYZ's product. Or maybe more like if ABC company
contracts with a Temp help business, to collect and sell admission
tickets at ABC's trade shows. Both contracts based on a negotiated
cost, plus negotiated profit, business proposition.

Yeah, the insurers right now play their role in the system as
controlling MIDDLEMEN. The STANDARD OF PAY for "middlemen" is
"whatever the traffic will bear,"(sometimes known as "the market"). I
want their role to be changed into that of a bookkeeping
SUBcontractor, kind of like the PAYROLL services most medium sized
employers contract with. For example, actually as I recall ole Ross
Perot had the contract for years to write the social security checks.
And he didn't get to decide on how much profit the taxpayers had to
give him.

We should negotiate a deal with the insurers at least as good as the
paper processing subcontractors, public and private, sell to the
health-care schemes in other Western countries.
