Japan has about 3500 small insurance companies, instead of the three or four monolithic giants we have here. We used to have countless small insurers, kinda, about a hundred years ago: http://www.freenation.org/a/f12l3.html What's your point? The government and insurers negotiate down prices, but because they actually play on the side of the people, the price is actually brought down. In any sensible negotiation you assess the actual value of the product and barter to that, you don't just try to get a discount on whatever nonsense they float your way. --- Scloud posted...
