Why Did Anthem's CEO Endorse The GOP's Healthcare Plan? Simple. HE WAS BRIBED.
Just in case you were wondering why the Republicans put a huge tax cut for HMO executives in their healthcare (wealthcare) bill, Anthem's CEO just endorsed the bill. Mystery solved. It was a BRIBE, pure and simple. A brazen and clever one, to be sure. But a bribe, nonetheless.
At first it seemed strange to put a special carve out tax cut for HMO executives in the healthcare bill. Why would they do that, when they're planning to give multimillionaires a tax cut anyway, by repealing Obamacare. And they're going to give them an even bigger tax cut when they reform the Tax Code. So why add a THIRD tax cut JUST for HMO executives?
It was a bribe. Pure and simple. Come out and support this bill in public, and if it passes, you'll gain from it PERSONALLY.
I guess they figure they'll gain more positive publicity from HMO executives endorsing the bill than negative publicity from people pointing out that they were BRIBED to support it. I just saw Ryan on TV using the Anthem endorsement to sell the bill. From now on, whenever they point out that HMO executives are endorsing the plan, we have to point out that it's only because they were BRIBED to endorse it.
