Pigs At The Healthcare Trough

[GoLeft TV]

This segment originally aired on the September 29th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. Portions of the Affordable Care Act will begin to take effect very soon, and the same people who helped draft the bill are already lining their pockets thanks to their inside knowledge of the law. Ring of Fire guest host Farron Cousins discusses this with attorney David TeSelle.

1. Shocking!

I guess it is too much to ask for our "lawmakers" in DC to actually write the laws. Instead they farm it out directly to the industry. What do you expect in that scenario?

2. Will it take

the total collapse of America,(due to greed and the cheating to get wealth pervasive in this govt.
What has become "the American way" is to destroy everyone except for the wealthy and to use public service as a means to become wealthy).. before these immoral practices become illegal?
Greed is quickly destroying America even as it is becoming institutionalized by "our" greedy govt.

3. WHAT TO DO WITH THIS REVOLVING (revolting) DOOR?

Perhaps someone will come up with a much better idea, but I'm gonna immediately write to President Obama and urge him to act upon his campaign pledge of stopping the revolving door (without loopholes), before I send it, I'll copy it to my hard drive and send it many times, once a day to Barack. Let's get some more and better ideas of how to stop this nation defeating scheme.

4. This is what I just sent our President:

Mr. President, you campaigned on the pledge to stop the federal job to private industry revolving door. This applies to really every aspect and part of the federal government, but as an example of interest, let us look at the ACA. Those that crafted this very complex piece of legislation are now using their "special knowledge" to "cash in" working for the medical insurance industry, helping them "game the system". This defeats the purpose of the law, no? If you really care about your "legacy" as president, stopping outright ripoffs and fraud would be a nice addition, plus it would show that you were good to your word...I would love to hear your "take" on this very crucial aspect of governmental policy enforcement and therefore the respect or lack of respect this enforcement engenders in the American public. You have challenged those that have issues with your approach to governing to "push", as FDR told us. Please act now.

I saved the above in a WP, and plan to daily send this message.
