However, why would you think it acceptable if the govt. were doing the same thing rather than your insurance company?
It wouldn't destroy the insurance industry and you know it. However, it may just lower their profit margin from 400+% to around a respectable 15% maybe. How is it morally ethical to continue denying 47 million people health care simply to protect the exorbitant profit margin of some company?

Why would you think it acceptable for someone to decide "what treatments will be administered for various ailments" based upon their profit margin?
