motivation in warning about a given?

That's like Big Oil warning us that we will be paying escalating prices for fuel or heroin dealers warning that fixes are gonna' go up.

I mean really, this scam is obvious and the insurance lobbies work very hard to keep us in the game of having a middle-man, (stuffing fat wads of cash in the coffers) for our healthcare.

Of the top 10 highest paid non-profit CEOs in 2010, five led hospitals. They included the following:

• Herbert Pardes, MD, former CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City: $4.35 million
• Gary Gottlieb, MD, CEO of Partners HealthCare in Boston: $3.14 million
• Delos "Toby" Cosgrove, MD, CEO of Cleveland Clinic: $2.25 million
• James Mandell, MD, CEO of Boston Children's Hospital: $1.86 million
• John Noseworthy, MD, CEO of Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.: $1.64 million

* CIGNA CEO Edward Hanway, who retired in December 2009, got the usual excessive pay and stock options that year but also gave himself a $111 million pension package as a going-away gift. Combined with pay received by his successor, David Cordani, the company parted with $136 million in CEO compensation in 2009. That is enough money to pay for 204,000 infants to receive the recommended series of seven well-baby visits in their first year.
* CEO Stephen Hemsley of UnitedHealth Group banked $107.5 million in 2009, including $98.6 million from exercising stock options. Hemsley's total take would pay for up to 1.1 million women to receive mammograms.
* CEO Ron Williams of Aetna Inc. collected $18.1 million in total compensation last year, enough to enough to pay for 4,853 people to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery.
* CEO Angela Braly of Wellpoint Inc. got a 51 percent raise to $13.1 million in 2009. That amount would cover the cost of 2,500 hernia operations.

The ACA is causing rates to go up?

and their children's children never have to lift a royal finger in their entire existence.

The ACA also entrenched a failed system for the foreseeable future.

companies, most likely, come October 2013. They've been silently working on it since last year June:

The Heritage Foundation fears it and calls it, "a robust public option":


These corporte-sponsored warnings serve two purposes: 1, to make American people turn against President Obama's signature bill, and 2, to make the American people turn against Democrats, or be disenchanted enough to stay home in 2014.

However, by doing this, they make ONE major mistake. This plays right into the hand of the U.S. government because in order for the U.S. sponsored health care insurance to be successful, they need a minimum of 750,000 people to sign up for their plan:


Propagandizing the plan to double health insurance premiums will most certainly guarantee that people will opt for the less expensive, more comprehensive U.S. sponsored public option, wouldn't it?

The question is will the government bailout the failed model or create what we all know will be a more efficient replacement.

It pretty much has to fall apart first and we are well on our way there, still going to suck for those suffering with high premiums and crappy coverage the next decade or two.
