The nurse and the human being in me leads me to the opinion that there is something inherently sick in the thinking of for profit health care as a nations core philosophical approach.

Ceridian Cobra's clients are not insurance companies. Their clients are the employers who hire them to handle the administration of COBRA benefits for former employees. They don't take their "marching orders" from the insurance company, they take them from the employer.

So what.

Your comment on knee jerk animosity , gopqed , would not occur IMHO without a basis in fact of patient and insurance company behavior per se of an untoward type.
