(11,990 posts)"...and some will work for Medica..." -- sounded more like Medicard than Medicare, but also sounded like she didn't quite finish saying the word, so it may have been a bit of a stumble, but I think the point is, with a greatly expanded federal healthcare system, there will be a great need for employees there as well, and that was part of her answer.

(31,261 posts)If anyone thinks that we are going to have a working healthcare administration that forego the skills of rank and file health insurance industry workers is just blind.
