The insurance industry gets away with murder because they own the politicians. Why are they free from anti-trust laws? For decades? Why aren't they forced to compete across state lines? The State run insurance commissioners gives the industry a free pass because after their tenure at the State they get fancy vp jobs at ins cos. It's a revolving door. I doubt the ins cos are committing wholesale fraud as you allege, but rather they have paid to have the rules & laws written for their protection. The insurance industry will stop at nothing to keep its monopoly and stifle competition. That's a real problem.

Completely agree. The insurance companies have some democrats as well as republicans completely in their pocket.
There should be term limits on politicians - MANY have outlived their usefulness.
BTW - did you scream over the "medicare prescription drug plan"? That was a HUGE give-away to the drug Cos, and the bill was written by lobbyists, and old folks can't figure it out.
We need to get rid of career politicians and lobbyists. Enough government for sale.
