Second for the night

Is it any surprise that the people who lose with health care reform are the some of the ones fighting vehemently against it? I mean this latest “industry sponsored study” is a complete joke. How can they, with a straight face, commission a study that miraculously says reform will crank up prices and force the insurance companies to pass those costs onto their policy holders? It is no different than banks, or any other industry, saying that new regulations or new consumer protections will force them to pass costs onto customers.

Since when has an honest living ment making billions off of sick people who may have to decide whether to live or go bankrupt? Doctors do their jobs because they HONESTLY care about helping people. It is one of those fields were you can’t do it simply as a job. The only reason that insurance companies exist is purely out of greed. They are the middle men between doctors and patients and middle men are ONLY concerned with how much money they can milk out of both sides. To these people I say this: if you don’t like people having the fundamental right of health care then get the hell out of the health insurance industry.

To those who aren’t part of the industry but are still paranoid of health care reform that has a government OPTION in it, I repeat my previous statements. Write your Representative and Senator and tell them to abolish Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and the VA. If it’s such a travesty and abomination then no one should have government health care ESPECIALLY our men and women in the military. Tell those military personnel, and their families, that they now get thrown into the shark tank that is the health insurance industry with the rest of us and if they can’t get covered or can’t afford it then too bad because it’s the best system in the world.

  1. It's scary how human beings can sleep at night after perpetuating atrocities on others of their own kind. Insurance agents and the corporates who work within these behemoths astound me. But they sleep just fine, because, as with all corporations, one can "pass the buck": no one is responsible in the end! "It's just business": that's their motto.

    What's even more incredible is the statement that even if reform doesn't pass, the increase in premiums is nearly as great than if it does.

    Screwed if we pass it, screwed if we don't.

    Human evil exists. We need only look at how we treat our own to verify it.
