  24. 24. Reasons Supporting Government Regulation Who Are the Millennials? | Marissa Valente | 08/05/2014 Proprietary and Confidential | General Re Life Corporation 24Government regulation helps to ensure fairness to the people it is responsible for governing and helps generate operations that are in the best interest of the population.TrustUniversalRegulationPrevent Exorbitant FeesPrevent CorruptionComprehensiveSecurityConditionKeep competitiveFairAttainableTaking advantageProtect & ServeFairnessEasierPre- ExistingWhy Millennials want government regulation of health insuranceI think that involving government in big business of any sort will help regulate for fairness and prevent financial abuse from within. The economic disparity in this country needs to be mediated. Conversely, the government needs to also be kept in check. There should be no absolute power in any regards.It's important to me that government closely regulates insurance companies, to prevent them from taking advantage of vulnerable populations (i.e. the elderly).I believe that this is a path to a more equivalent and fair distribution of healthcare.There needs to be regulation so that people who do not understand insurance have safeguards.Populations Best InterestSource: Gen Re, Online Survey of Millennials, July 2014 *Note: Question was asked: Which of the following statements do you agree with more?1.I want government to regulate what insurance companies can offer for health insurance2.I do not want government to regulate what insurance companies can offer for health insurance.
