Further, it is time we have the debate in this country as to the need for health insurance companies. These companies provide nothing in the area of health, they become a barrier between a patient and her health provider, limit the type of care, provider, and facility a patient may have access to, and only adds cost and extracts profit. The right to Americans to have quality healthcare must exceed the right of insurance companies to earn profit.
