I think people being able to take care of their heath is more important than health care companies making money.

It's not fair that I was born with eyes that need corrective lenses and my uncle has 20/16 vision. But it's how I was made, and thus I need to pay for glasses/contacts.

My husband has worked in insurance. He was working for a medical supply company. 1/3rd of the denied claims were due to missing info, 1/3rd for typos, and 1/3rd for no apparent reason, just resubmit and they accepted it. With that sort of statistics, you get the feeling they deny a certain number of claims for no reason, with the hope that you won't appeal and just pay. I have little faith in health insurance companies.
