This woman from the insurance industry says her industry has proposals
to change things. They don't need permission to change their policies, and yet they haven't made necessary changes, like doing away with pre-existing conditions clauses, etc. If they want change, why don't they make change?

1. The only change I want to hear from the insurance industry is that
they will no longer be offering health insurance because they won't be able to make the obscene profits they used to make denying health care.

3. Hey insurance industry shitlicker - you had 15 years of complete freedom to change your ways
and do a better job of fooling people into believing you care about whether they live or die.

Drop dead.

5. How ridiculous to even interview these people - obviously, they've created the problem...

Sort of like putting Wall Street gurus in charge of our financial system. Nobody would do that! *cough*

10. I heard her this a.m. on Morning Joe
I didn't get that impression. I don't watch her show maybe she's different there.

that you and your industry take a long walk on a short plank above shark infested waters.

11. They want 45 million new customers.
That's what they really want. They especially like the government subsidies and the fact that those who don't buy their products will be criminals.

Oh, goody! Who wouldn't want that?

:dem:

12. She specifically mentioned subsidies.
IF taxpayer money is going towards a healthcare scheme, I'd rather it be government run than go to private corporations.

13. Being older than I care to admit, she has been on TV schilling tor
the Inustry for as long as I can remember.

Just like Republicans, the Industry goes on and on never doing
anything. Let the Democrats get in power and they feel threatened
they start their PR War. I have a bridge I will sell to anyone
who believes the Industry.
