Daily Camera article: Health insurers’ “sins” don’t justify “reform”

The Daily Camera (Boulder) published a shorter version of my Pajamas Media article from a earlier this month:

With so-called health care “reform” in limbo after the Republican Senate victory in Massachusetts, it’s worth examining a popular sentiment behind it: animosity toward insurance companies. Namely, insurers` profits, denial of claims, and rescission of policies. These do not justify the Democrats` goal of increasing political control of health insurance. Rather, they call attention to lax law enforcement and existing legislation that favors insurers at the expense of patients.
