Whose side are you on ?….Insurance vs. Americahttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091012/ap_o…
If big Insuracne is against it, and they are creating phony reports to assert things that aren’t true,.. doesn’t that help reinforce which side you should be on ?
They’ve changed from trying to influence the health care reform, to trying to derail it altogether. Apparently there weren’t enough “freebies” in it for them to loosen their tentacle grip on congress.

Because of the insurance agencies campaign contributions! If we want good government we need to get rid of massive campaign donations by lobbyists.

Everyone on the Right is always saying “Let the Free Market decide”. Well how would one define Health Care?
It isn’t really a product unless you look at medication. It’s more of a Service Industry, like House Cleaning as it’s purpose is Maintaining ones health.
But, what about “We the People” blah blah blah, Life, LIberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!
Seems to me that you can’t have “Life”, if you don’t have “Health”.
And one must be Healthy in order to Pursue Happiness!
Also, doesn’t employers want a healthy work force?

You could cite many reasons…
some that haven’t been mentioned yet is just the basic culture of an American. We are a lot less active, we eat more processed foods, and we search for the cure and not the prevention.
It all adds up to good industry.

disguised as campaign contributions to let HMOs and the rest of the Medical Industry defraud and overcharge US citizens to make a fast profit?

He has already taken over banks, insurance companies, and the automobile industry, and talked about taking over the health care industry, what will be next. How long do we have until private property and private business becomes illegal.

According to yahoo news the healthcare industry is the only sector in the economy which is seeing sustained job growth and increased wages. This can’t possibly last forever. Will the health care industry get Walmartized meaning they’ll eventually have a glut of people and start paying everyone $8.00 an hour like all the other industries are trying to do?

Do you think that part of the president’s plan includes a way to fight the propaganda that the insurance industry will undoubtedly present to the public.
Remember “Harry and Louise” from the days of the Clinton’s proposed health care reform. Do you think that the Obama administration are preparing a way to fight them if they suddenly make a comeback.
Otherwise, the insurers and health care companies will scare the public from the change they asked for.

Every factory worker that has been laid off says they will go back to school and become a medical assistant or nurse. Even worse, these people actually do get hired.
But for how much longer? When the inevitable cutbacks come to this delusional industry that bankrupts people for routine visits, all these people can kiss their jobs goodbye. If you think American health care can never be as slow, bad and inefficient as you claim Canada and Europe’s are, think again. They’ve been fiscally responsible; we haven’t.
When hospitals are forced to make the inevitable cutbacks, you will see the economy turn for the worse. I just wish more people would realize this before it’s too late, but then again, the government probably already does. They just don’t want to let people on to it yet, but it’s inevitable.
What a shame, that people in this state are so stupid. You can’t all leave your jobs in factories and work in hospitals. It doesn’t work, economically. Delphi, GM and Ford bring outside money into Michigan, hospitals don’t!

Good point.
I’d also like to include all the advertising they do to sell us drugs. The cost of that is huge!
