I don't have a link. It happens everyday. Insurance companies make you take physicals unless you are somehow lucky enough to be involved in an open enrollment. Older people have a harder time keeping insurance because insurance companies see them as high risk. You're telling me that you have never heard a doctor say that he/she is trying to get the insurance company to agree to cover certain procedures even when it is critical they get the care? They sit around and decide if that person is worth paying the claim for. To insurance companies it is all about money and money alone. I understand the business aspect and they have to make money, but where does it stop? We are told in the bible to love our neighbor as our brother. Would you not want your brother covered with medical insurance?

Ive never had to take a physical for insurance purposes. Also, older people have medicare and medicaid to cover them. This is why sometimes there is a dispute with insurance companies, they want the government to take care of it, and let them slide on their responsibility. That's why mandated government insurance for employees and when they retire is the most essential thing this country needs in healthcare. Also government restrictions on premiums and co pays to protect the employers and employees. You can also protect the insurance companies. In cases where medical bills can stack up into the millions, whether it be someone with a disease or an accident leaving them in a vegtable state. The government can step in and help cover most of those expenses. Therefore keeping insurance companies from trying to jack prices up on their customers, but also keeping them from taking huge losses. I have no problem with the government helping out someone who gets a life threatening disease. Cancer, MS, or anything of the sort. I do have a problem with our government spending millions upon millions everytime an illegal immigrant gets a belly ache or a sore throat every year. I'm ok with helping out anyone in the world with a life threating disease. I don't care if they live here or not. I know that is not plausibile as we would go bankrupt in about 5 hours.
