No Public Option? Then NO Mandate

If it has not become painfully obvious to you that the Insurance Companies and the Sickness Care Industry is writing the "Health" Care legislation in Congress, you seriously need to wake up.

They are spending millions of dollars to do so. And what are they spending it on? Politicians.

Politicians and ads to sway public opinion.

This brings us to the key question: What do they want?

They want a Health Care Bill that mandates, by law, that every American HAS to, is forced to, must, buy insurance......FROM THEM.

By Law.

With no alternative.

Their goal is to get 46 million new forced 'customers.'

Let me say that one more time.

The Insurance companies want "reform" that will force every American to buy their product.

buhdydharma's diary :: :: Their shoddy, inefficient, BAD product that doesn't work.

Their product that costs more than any other insurance in the world....and that delivers the only the 37th best Health Care in the world.

The product that they want to force you, by law, to have to buy.

Without an alternative, without a Public Option available to compete with them, and to illustrate JUST how bad their 'product'....in other words your health ....really is, this is just a boondoggle to benefit the Insurance Companies.

Without the Public Option to provide competition...and relief for increasing number of "low income" Americans, Congress hands the Insurance Companies exactly what they want.

And of course tyhe next step will be taking any 'reform' out of the bill that makes it affordable, especially to "low income" Americans.

The "Lower" Class and Lower Middle Class.

Not that they, or apparently Congress, gives a damn about the Lower and Lower Middle Class....they work for the Insurance Companies now, not us. Other than a few stalwarts, it has become painfully obvious whose side Congress is on on the Class War that is raging in America.

All of the subsidies could go straight to the doctors and hospitals.

for profit insurance overhead is capped at double what Medicare spends.

And although this reform will placate the comfortable insured middle class with premium cuts and a couple regulations in name only the mandate will further decimate the working class and working poor who are already in a full blown depression thanks once again to the investor class.

and should be shut down if it does.

health insurance - the insurance companies will enjoy a windfall of funds like never before. In my mind that would be no better than the bailout of banks or wall street firms.
