Whether insurance companies are inherently evil or not (they are BTW) is only one aspect of the health care debate. The majority on both sides seem equally clueless in their reasoning for their respective opinions.
Single payer — the only option that could ever substantially lower costs — (and is NOT socialized medicine) was never even on the table. There is no “left” side of this debate. If anything, this bill is being written BY and FOR the insurance industry to ENSURE that all us losers who don’t want or can’t affort KrappyKare will now have to. And to ensure that the middle-class who now do have HC (and are so gosh darn happy with it, TYVM) get to be taxed for the privilege.
But rest assured, your HC will be equally “Krappy” (rationed, denied, etc) whether you end up on the private or the public “option”.
One thing we can and should all agree on is that this is one more case of the “shock doctrine” being used to shove legislation down our throats before anyone can discover the devil in the details.
Obama’s “Insurance reform” (Not HC reform) appears to be bassed on the Massachusetts model.
Why don’t they just call it RomneyCare?
