Yeah, we'll all be forced to support the health insurance industry--you know the health insurance industry! They're the fine folks that think it's OK that the thousands of uninsured people die every year. Yeah, we will be forced to support these greedy-ass people if this bill passes. The good news is that this won't pass--I've read a number of news sources that quote politicians on both sides of the party wall who say they won't support it.
What's disturbing here is two fold.
First, that the fact that statistically so many people are set to die this year due to a lack of affordable health care is not causing an nation-wide uproar. (Though later in an interview with one of the people behind the study that came up with the 45,000 number seemed to revise it down to 25,000 and just the other day I posted about the number being down around 18,000. The point is, tens of thousands of people are dying because the system has let them slip through the cracks.)
Secondly, this bill is a big fat gift to the insurance industry. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how this benefits them:
Mandate (force) most Americans to get health insurance and that means HUGE dollars for insurance companies.
There's also a third aspect I already mentioned of not giving us an option to opt out of supporting the greedy-as-hell insurance industry. Thanks Baucus, you corrupt bastard.
Who cares about Tax-N-Spend Democrats? I'm more worried about Take-"Bribes"-N-Pass-Laws Democrats (and Republicans)!
