You can see this coming, in every dark cloud there is a silver lining and for the insurance industry I can see the silver lining that would be real wet dream for them if it came to fruition.
Here is the worst case scenerio for the public on health care insurace reform
1. law mandating everyone must purchase health insurance
2. no public option, no co-op, nothing from the govt to compete with big insurance (may be some vague promise of something maybe in the future to pacify us as we a lead to financial slaughter.
3. no reform permiting medicare to negotiate the price of pharmaceuticals down
If those things come to pass, the the health insurance reform will screw each and every person living in the US. We will have no choice but to bend over and pay them whatever they want and if we decide not to, we will be fined and imprisoned... now that is really crooked shit.
And big insurance will have taken a potential disaster for them and turned it into a govt mandated cash cow.
So, IMO watch out for these proposals because they are probably being pushed to either scuttle the reform or to turn the reform in to the bastard child of big insurance.
Makes we wonder who is pushing these proposals and how much big inurance is paying them. IMO these guys are climbing all overt hemselves to get a pay day at our expense. what a bunch of crooks.
Anyway, didn't one of the democratic members on the finance committee who voted no on the public option get $3.5 million from the health insurance industry.... I wonder if the reform is written by that guy, who would benefit the most.
