Very depressing if true, and I have no reason not to believe Cenk.

nearly trip over himself to tell people his HCR has nothing to do with government intervention; sir, I WANT government intervention! These sick, leech-like, corporate FUCKS are still in charge and will do EVERYTHING they can and want to get around your rules. If you don't have another option from a non-profit like, oh, say, the GOVERNMENT, they will continue to do whatever they want with their armies of lawyers and other such daemon-spawn.

Obama's Rules..were written by the lobbyists for the insurance boys with Obama's full approval in back room deals!

The loopholes were put there by Obama allowing the Insurance boys to protect their own asses by writing the very bill that had nothing to do with Health Care....but was nothing but a Health Insurance Corporation and Big Pharma Corporate / Big Hospital Conglomerate Corp profit bill.

This bill never had anything to do with Health care for we the people.

It was Corporate bail out. Period!

It was a massive re-distribution of public wealth from poor people to insurance companies.

We will be required to give them our money, up to 22% of our income. But as we are seeing here, they are not required to provide us with anything in return. They can refuse to provide any insurance to anyone they don't want to cover. Nothing anywhere in these negotiations really cuts costs for us.

There are loopholes everywhere for insurance companies to take advantage of, because insurance companies were at the table writing the rules, and we weren't. They were given huge concessions just to come to the table, but nobody representing us was allowed to be at that table at all.

So of course all the rules are rigged to benefit them. :(

And will continue to do so until the medical profession regains, and takes control of, the medical industry once again.

biggest money makers around. They hardly need bailing out.

huge amounts of tax money too. The same is true of the agricultural giants that control most of our food supply. Pharmaceutical companies. And now banks too.

The larger and more profitable an industry is the more likely it is that our government will give them massive millions of dollars in subsidies just because they ask for it, not because they actually need it.

He is a big jerk. twists things to suit him. I wish he would shut the f k up

See post above this one for details.

What has Cenk ever done to hurt you? Oh, maybe disagree with Obama about kissing butt with conservatives Republicons?

By the way, calling some insightful progressive commentator a "big jerk" and wishing he would "shut the FK up" doesn't do your own reputation as a thoughtful poster much good here. We usually see those kinds of comments about Sarah Palin and the like, not about Cenk.

on the money about his critique of Obama's failures.

As they say on Fark - 1/10.

He presented information. It has been confirmed by other sources.

What have you presented? Insults. Yeah, that makes you credible.

fail

Anything to increase profits,at the expense of childrens
health!

K&R!

heath care reform as it was to call BS on the Iraq War.

The people who were right from the very beginning will never be considered credible.

The people who were wrong again and again and again will insist that they are the credible, intelligent ones who everyone should have to listen to and take seriously.

get to get the ball rolling. As long as there are pro-corporation/capitalist Congress people fighting against reform of any kind, things will remain pretty much the same.

:shrug:

The larger and more important point is that the underlying system was not changed. Sure, there were some positives in the bill but the fundamental for-profit system remains the same.

This is just the start, as even the most die-hard supporters of the bill have to concede that many more examples of these loopholes will pop up between now and 2014 (and each time the dishonest private insurance industry and Republicans will blame the bill and sadly many moderate Americans will believe them.

And who knows what the GOP will do with more power in Congress between now and then. That's exactly why I always hated the argument that this was a solid foundation to improve upon later, when in fact I think the opposite is true. The GOP is likely to drill holes in an already weak 'reform' as they get more seats in Congress.

that will need to be filled. Only time will tell if the foundation will be built upon, or eroded.

Either the insurance companies quit abusing customers or we'll have a case for ditching them, completely.

I think a boycott should be launched against companies that don't accept children as the only insured. I also wonder how SCHIP might enter the picture if a company denies a child coverage?

a problem ?

I get you now!!

No pre-exisiting anything?????

You think not?

Understand this ..every time you go to a doctor and the bill goes to your insurance company..you have pre-existing something!

And you can be cut out as well! With the fucking loop holes that were allowed when Obama allowed the insurance big boys and big Pharma and the Huge Hospital conglomerates write the fucking bill he signed!

I will remember to not feel sorry for you and those who sold this nation out on Health Care reform and only signed a bill written by the fuckers who will control your Health care or lack there of!

What I said was, the company denying children coverage should be boycotted.

taken over by insurance companies. Apparently doctors have no say in who they will medicaly treat. I know one doctor that took an early retirement because he had lost all control of his practice because of medical insurance policies. My son got a letter yesterday from the clinic who has treated his 5 year old daughter for minor problems. It states that they will only give emergency medical treatment for the next 30 days; at that time he must seek help from some other clinic. It is not that she has any pre-existing medical problems. It seems it is just a way to eliminate treating children.
This is the same clinic that,a couple of years ago, came down with an edict that they would discontinue taking new Medicare patients. They let me retain using my doctor at that clinic if I would change insurance companies handling Medicare that met with their approval. I did comply. I have had to change insurance companies twice in the interim. I am wondering when I will have to search around again to get coverage. It is disgusting that doctors are willingly letting insurance companies run their this important medical industry.

When I went to the opening of his campaign headquarters. He's up for re-election this year and his teabagger opponent is speaking out against "Obamacare," hoping to overturn the progress we've made by dropping kids with "pre-existing conditions" from coverage. How he can sell this is beyond me, but I live in a traditionally red district and I'm worried... :scared:
