What value *do* insurance companies add to American health care?

This was the question Anthony Weiner asked Joe Scarborough that shut him up. It's an excellent question. I've been trying to think of a reasonable answer and I'm stumped myself. Scarborough finally suggested that the main value they added was something to do with "free enterprise." But this is like saying that the main value snake oil adds to health care is something to do with free enterprise.

Anyone want to take a crack at it?
