WSJ: "Will a Public Option Hurt Insurance Company Profits? Insurers' Profits Are So Slim..."
Insurers' Profits Are So Slim, It Would Be Hard for Health Care Reform to Whittle Them Further

Health Insurers profits are so slim, but they're able to spend more than $173 Million so far to try to kill the public option.

5. need more than health INSURANCE reform
If these numbers are even close to accurate (I don't doubt them) it shows why it is such a mistake to have switched to "health insurance reform" instead of "health care reform". We need health CARE reform.
