Wow I get to be first! [Report this comment] Posted by: reelectnoone on Nov 6, 2009 7:30 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] This is good news. The more insiders step up to expose the insurance companies for what they really are the better. By default this also exposes members of congress who take insurance donations to thwart reform. You can't take money from thieves without becoming corrupt yourself. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: Wow I get to be first! Posted by: willymack Lots of people have been paid to stop Health Care, and insurance workers have [Report this comment] Posted by: avidAmerican on Nov 6, 2009 8:09 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] been told to stop the Health Care Bill or lose their jobs. I believe all Congresspeople who took money from Insurance Companies should have to bow out and have nothing to do with the Bill, it is a blatant Conflict of Interest, and we deserve better than that. It is also Bribery, and they should be prosecuted for that.

How can we get Congress to actually enact what the people want? Tell your members of Congress that unless they support Medicare for all, you won't support them. Take the Medicare For All Pledge now.

None of them, is my answer. He should work for himself, that way he won't be able to afford any health insurance at all.

[Report this comment] Posted by: bigbrother on Nov 10, 2009 6:42 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] here's the real crime in the health care disaster... Obama promises the AMA he will not roll back docs medicare payments 20% if they support his reforms. Obama got the AARP on board by promising to reduce funding to Medicare Advantage which provided additional coverage for the elderly at low cost. Medicare Advantage was instituted by Bush and cut deeply into AARP's high cost insurance which provided similar coverage at much higher cost. Screw insurance insiders - Obama sold out to them form the start. So now the elderly was thrown under the bus! - getting crowded under there!
