    Actual people rarely use the same insurance companies that the major corps use, sure some genuine small businesses will get mixed up in it but majority of them are with the small time insurance companies.

    For the most part it will only affect the regular people if the government provides subsidies and bailouts to the insurance company, which is a practice that needs to end or at least come with the caveat of forced removal and investigation of all leadership positions from board to CEO to management as well as turning the company over to the employees.

      that’s right, it’s the people!

      If the cost of insurance goes up, the input cost to the business goes up and that gets passed on to the consumer

        Good, it gives small businesses a chance to compete. The people can support local instead.

          Do local businesses not need insurance? and have you seen any signs the french looters are differentiating between local and big businesses?

            We covered those points already in this conversation/thread. Get some new propaganda, the old shit ain’t working as well to quell the dissent.
