Not worth the paper it is written on for the American people but a Goldmine for the Health Care Corporations!
30 million new premiums mandated to 'for profit' companies..this is a joke but not funny..How many are dying while the congress is pandering to big business corporations!
Disgusting and shameless! Call them on their incompetence...1.800.828.0498 or 1.866.220.0044!
Baucus has taken $3 million from HC Corps since 2004 and Conrad is helping Blue Cross in his home State become a Co-op!
Seems to me that we need to give it time...8 months in and he has gotten quite a bit done! Some people that voted for Obama because they were hoping for a quick overhall inside the Beltway were forgeting that the Congress is owned by Big Corps and lobbyists...who demand the 'status quo'...
Nonwhite and hispanic voters are holding firm...Give it time!
someone comes into a corporation--works their way up and finds they have become embroiled in the corporate quagmire and struggle to get out! Maybe with a family and a pension and all those things we struggle to keep. In corporations often the right hand and left hand under middle management are not consulted on the nefarious happenings and goings on in the companies!
I do not know but it seems there are many sanctimonious bloggers here who castigate without knowing the facts..Perhaps..'.walk a mile in my shoes' might be appropriate!
It will help if you know who owns these Insurance Cos:
Wall Street Banks hold these percentages of shares in Health Insurance giants and are increasing shares by the tens of millions
United 77.32%
WellPoint 79.04%
Aetna 79.45%
CIGNA Corp. 68.71%
Coventry Health 82.25%
Health Net Inc. 79.37%
Wall Street is the enemy. Can we afford another bailout for these people and their bonus structure! Note that shares go up every time the public option appears to be off the table!
Amazing that mainstream has paid so little attention but looped the crazies and wingnuts to extraction along with the lying Congress people..You would expect it from faux and limpbow but now we know what the corp media whores are paid to do!
No wonder I gave up the USA printed page years ago and only watch MSM with the mute button in my hand...Try DemocracyNow or WorldFocus even the News Hour if Ifill is not on! There are more out there too numerous to list ...The ratings of MSM are dropping like a stone!

go ba!!s out..They whine about bi-partisanship but the only time we have had real bi-partisanship is when dems cave!!! Other wise it is 3 here and 5 here!
What do people not get that the very people who are against reform are dependent on it --Armey and Family, Boneher, Conrad and family, all the 2 term congress people- retired or still in office, Govn't employees, state employees, military retired, career service, on and on!
Non regulated- free market place has gotten us here...Thank you repubs---this is going the way of the financial markets without regulation...Bailouts by the people who get little or NO benefit ---the tax payer!
need to be removed in 2010.. The market went up in the healthcare stocks --thinking the 'public option' was off the table!
Coops take years , thousands of members, millions of dollars to begin to compete with the Consolidated billion dollar insurance companies...Conrad and his low information ilke must go in 2010..Meanwhile call him and the rest of the fools: 1.800.828.0498 or 1866.220.0044...
Tell them they are transparent in their support of the Healthcare industry against the needs of the American people!
that crackdowns and lies and violence and outright delusion will quell the fight they started with these lies!!! It took 1 year in 1979, this will be less---the women will not be silanced...The World sees the outrage of the people and the atrocities by the Iranian military and govrn't...Shameless---the clerics are all culpable because they have gone along with the lies!!!
It is the people who will prevail...the clerics are even split! Rahanjani is working behind the scene to expose this shame....Horrid people killing youth, women and children, the old ...COWARDS ALL of the Govrn't and little Ahmidinnerjacket!
by/in the Bush Admin? Savage is off the rails..but it does sound like the wingnuts have guilty consciences...They should ---they are fanning the flames of these peoples' fear and lack of education! They are not only supplying a recruiting platform for the wingnuts but the terrorists, too! Limpbow, palin, beck and hannraty are all culpible!
Ignoring the slap from the author about accomplishment by Obama, the hysteria of the right wing speaks volumes about the GOP. Set up to fail by the very vampid and extreme of the conservitive right , it is no wonder they are failing and screaming like stuck hogs! Couple that with being the party that has gotten us into Fiscal Crisis by their rule for 14 or the past 16 years, one does not blame them for their bewilderment even in the face of truth---Oh, I forgot--they have a TORTURED relationship with the truth...like none!
It seems Obama is sailing through the created mailstrom, the people are increasingly aware that repub's NO LONGER ARE DOING THE BUSINESS OF THE PEOPLE!
The TARP was put out with NO OVERSIGHT_AND NO ACCOUNTABILITY...by the Bush/Paulsen gang! Obama ask for a plan and is holding them to it! The Corp/banking raiders left little time to ask for audits with the first 350 billion...but some of the heads rolled anyway...most took the money and ran!
New regeualtion is in the offing for the banking industry...10 years too late but none the less...We need the firewalls back up!
