Private insurance companies like Humana and Golden Rule have pushed the cost of coverage through the roof. Now their solution to the high cost of health care is to support high-deductible health plans and health savings accounts (HSAs). These "pay more/get less" plans shift the cost of health care onto individuals and families—and don't find a real solution to the high cost of health care.

These insurance companies already have seen their profits soar, partly through the new Medicare drug plans for seniors. Humana even raised seniors’ premiums between 60 percent and 460 percent in the second year of the plan. Conseco, Inc. made news by denying long-term care policies to seniors. On March 26, The New York Times reported that in some cases Conseco denied claims for so long the policyholders died before receiving insurance money.
