I am afraid you picked a REALLY bad example to make your case.
Egads, you?re right, Jon. When I hit the post button I had an uneasy feeling that there was a scandal re the UHC exec in the recent past. All I can say is that at least one can ?fire? UHC, which I did for a while not from moral outrage but due to low reimbursement. Then I rehired them again a couple years later when they shaped up. Tough to do this with single payer.
