A healthy dose of skepticism

Re: “Medical bills tied to more bankruptcies,” June 4:

A spokesman for private insurers said that “private insurers were in a better position to rein in spiraling medical costs and that the industry had a plan for protecting people from being forced into bankruptcy.”

Our present healthcare economy makes that hard to believe. His statement is a vivid example of the wolf guarding the henhouse.
