If they don't, their company fails, and they go out of business. If companies A and B are both Federally licensed to sell health coverage in the US, and carry relatively similar products, and are both allowed to market the same population, the company with the better rate is going to win 10/10 times.
As to second part. I really don't care what works in the rest of the world. We don't live in the rest of the world, we live in the US. The US is unique. We have a government of the people, for the people, by the people. By and large, even our lower class citizens enjoy a more prosperous existence than the majority of the world. Why is the US so wealthy that even our poor have luxuries like cell phones, tattoos, tricked out cars? Because we are a Capitalist Economy, we make more money than we need...
More for less isnt always good. Have you ever had burger king chicken nuggets? Little ceasers put me in the hospital.
A walmart style health insurance plan doesnt sound good to me.
I like competition benefiting the consumer. But ive also seen it get out of hand. A couple juggernauts would prevail after awhile buying everybody else up. It would be good at first but we would probably be buying health insurance from amazon or walmart soon.
