While we continue to slowly pull the healthcare bill away from the death grip the insurance companies have on it - Olympia Snowe - who cares - the fact remains the insurance companies have been living off of blood money and ripping us off for decades.
We're pissed and the party is over - even their ultra hush, hush anti-trust exemption from 1945 is finally being talked about.
They are scum (that's not hyperbole)and do not care about the economy as a whole or the damage and pain and suffering they have caused regular people. They don't care - too bad you made a typo - have fun dying. We're not sorry YOU got sick - thanks for the policy payments! That's whats going on people and they are finally being called out on their bizarre behavior. They gilded the lilly for so long pushed the premiums up too high. Those of us who have been saying WTF for decades are finally seeing some action on the HILL not because its the right thing to do but because its a huge drag on the economy - freakin' geniuses no duh.

Years ago, I watched insurance companies buy up newly-built, large commercial properties that were running in the red in order to "convert" their profits into losses. Eventually, they owned the huge assets, but their profit and loss statements were always loaded down with losses for two reasons. First, they needed to be able to go before the state each year and prove that they needed rate increases, and second, they needed to hold down their own corporate taxes. Consumers are well-aware that insurance companies advertise constantly. They may not know what an actuarial table is, but they understand the principles behind it. They have cheated me one too many times. Thank the U.S. government for S.S.D.I.!

since your choice is between evil lying corporate executives and evil lying politicians, how do you choose one side or the other?

I was pretty much in agreement with this article until the last paragraph. Private insurers will, NOT DO FINE, if a "public option" or this ridiculous health care bill gets passed. Insurance reform is badly needed but, it has to be done in a logical, common-sense manner. Saddling this country with another $Trillion dollar boondoggle that will raise taxes on an already over-taxed population, and cost 10 times more than the government is saying it will, is quite franky, STUPID!!
