Many years ago, I worked for a Ford dealer trying to sell cars. It was 1958 and we were in a recession with many car dealers going out of business, but I learned the car business the hard way. I did not sell very many cars but did find out that buyers were as devious as the dealers during the sales process. Some would show up with old tires on their car or the radio would be missing. My worst problem was trying to be truthful with the customer. One time a customer asked me about a used car that they were interested in, and I told him that I had not driven the car and did not know much about it. My boss did not care for that very much and the used car in question became my new demonstrator until I sold it. After one year I decided to go back to college if I ever wanted to make a living.
Killing an insurance executive will not change how our medical insurance is administered. Obama care gave the medical establishment and insurance business avenues to federal dollars that made many wealthy. I'm writing this because of the most recent quest by the insurance industry to sell medical plans especially Medicare advantage plans. For a couple of months we have been bombarded on every TV channel with ads to change our insurance plans. Humana has been one of the most prevalent ads and I have wondered how a medical insurance company could spend millions on advertising and still offer almost free medical care with eye, drug and hearing benefits. I bought some ads on a morning TV show a few years ago and had to pay over $4,000.00 for 30 seconds, If you add out the Humana ads it has to approach tens of millions of dollars.
