Between You & Your Doctor: Private Health Insurance Bureaucrats:

Insurance industry whistleblowers Dr. Linda Peeno and Wendell Potter testified before Congress about the myriad devious ways the insurance industry maximizes profit at the expense of patients, including funding front groups to shape health care reform to their own ends. Their testimony should dispel any remaining illusions that the private insurance industry is providing any positive benefit to the American people.

Okay then we'll pass a government run/public option and all the health insurance people on this site will be looking for a job within the next 10 years. That should help the economy. :(

Right, when a health insurance company pays for my medical expenses that I'd never be able to cover myself I find that annoying. Certainly no "positive benefit" there.

By the way, what would be an example of a negative benefit?
