The end is near! Better call Batman!!!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look at the bright side. In theory we have a two-party government: Republicans, Democrats and a few that go whichever way the political winds are blowing. The bottom line is that we have the best politicians corporate money can buy. Isn\u2019t that great!<\/p>\n
They all do a fine job helping health-insurance industry extract as much money as possible from the public and do nothing to regulate rejected claims, such as claiming pre-existing conditions that were not diagnosed prior to the policy issue and misrepresentation.<\/p>\n
Wellpoint, Aetna and United CEOs\u2019 combined compensation is $37,389,166: that\u2019s just salary.<\/p>\n
They, with the rest of the fat cats sent $20 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to fight any and all changes to their turf. Guess where that money went?<\/p>\n
Recruited Rush (Oxicontin) Lumblast, Sarah (I can see Russia) Palen, Tea baggers, and various assorted right wing nuts to preach to their sheep about all the evil health care changers.<\/p>\n
I doubt that any substantial and or real change will take place by the time it\u2019s all said and done.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, using the Department of Labor M6 gauge of unemployment puts the real rate at approx. 18 percent, and or 25 million looking for a job and health coverage.<\/p>\n
Millions are being financially wiped out and see family and friends die because of no insurance, extremely limited insurance or policy caps. Can\u2019t happen to me, right?<\/p>\n
Millions are turning up in hospital emergency rooms every year with no insurance. Guess who is paying for that? I\u2019ll give you a hint, it starts with a T. and runs into the billions.<\/p>\n
Anybody have a really good idea?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
