I don't think that insurance companies should be run for profit. I think they should be not-for-profits and thereby eliminate the need for constant bottom line "growth" to appease stockholders and executives seeking bonuses. Any net profit would have to be put back into the company or perhaps distributed to the customers as rebates. The current system isn't realistic because it is set up to work against the customers rather than for them.
