Why does the gov need to get involved if a non profit could do the same thing? I do not believe that every non profit in the USA says to itself " uh yeah, we could make all the money we need for our non profit side if we went into the health insurance business, but, uh, we chose not to do that." - that's the extension of your Bill Gates statement.
The extent of my Bill Gates argument is why doesn't he start an oil business? Why don't you start an insurance company? Why doesn't Warren Buffet start a bank? It's because all choose not to.
I don't know how much money it would take to start up an insurance company, but I suspect it would cost a lot. I know that if I had the start up money, I would not. That's because I don't believe that a profitable business is the end pursuit. I don't think our current system is right. So why would I want to be a part of it?
