Someone has to take the HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES by the horns

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Enough is enough!

What does Congress have to do to get the health insurance companies in order? If they need to do something they need to move fast.

Health insurance companies should be made to insure all citizens regardless of any previous condition or carve out situtation. If there is legislation needed for this to happen it should have happened yesterday.

Now is the time health insurance companies drop their premiums like Macy's to 70% off.

1. Most people could not afford to pay for the insurance offered

by the insurance companies even if they did insure anyone. So, what is the use? We need single payer. It is the only insurance that provides healthcare to everyone at affordable prices.

2. I agree we need single payer, but in the meantime.....

we need to start curbing these beasts.

3. Insurance Companies

are not the only ones to blame for our fucked up health care system.

You also need to throw some crap at:
Drug companies and pharmacies
Hospitals and health care providers
Doctors and health care workers
Medical supply companies
Tort litigators and juries
Government agencies and elected officials
Patients

None of them are without blame. All of them have contributed to the problems and all of them are trying to protect their turf.

5. I'm coming to them

I did post on healthcare providers yesterday

4. With the best will in world

insurance of any type is to the cover the risk of the occurence of an event - not a certainty. So - there will always be exclusions on previous conditions. That doesn't change that the fact that only those specific conditions may need to be excluded.

6. The Good Doctor, Howard Dean, The Man Who SHOULD Be President

is taking on the single payer universal health care need as his next project,--after getting Obama elected and getting cashiered for his efforts, blackballed from HHS Secretary, dissed by Rahm Emanuel and ignored and derided by the MSM.


With our help, Howard can do it.

7. I have no problem getting health insurance

I have a big problem paying for it. I have to insure my car first. There's nothing left over for me, even at 70% off.

8. I'd rather grab them by their balls, and keep squeezing until...

their eyes pop out!
