1. Bill Clinton Was the Keynote Speaker for the Health Insurance Lobby Bash

Bill Clinton Was the Keynote Speaker for the Health Insurance Lobby Bash in Nashville
This is from June, but most relevant today!

Clinton's cozy relationship with the group that killed the 'public option' seems ill-timed.

crossposts on this today....

2. Using our precious healthcare dollars to fatten the bank accounts of corporate investors ...

... in London, Tokyo and Hong Kong isn't just bad fiscal policy, it's immoral.

3. wonder why Bern takes money from

health Care services and HMO's. Does this mean he is on the "take". ?

25. First answer the Q

if Bern takes less lobbyist money than Hillary does that just make him less evil or is he still without sin. ?

6. Hillary's "problem" with single-payer is a heartless cruel ruse

claiming "we can't afford it" is a total lie: the truth is she's been bought by
big pharma and the health insurance industries.

[Mr.Bill]

7. My sister in law is a retired insurance company vice president.

She retired at age 55, and she is a multi-millionaire. She was making six figures in the 70s. She never healed anyone or provided any semblance of medical care to anyone in her life. She never did anything but push papers around at a desk. But you paid the salary of her and those like her so you could have access to medical care. That is what is wrong.

11. ^this^

does she sleep well at night?

[Mr.Bill]

14. I'm sure she does.

In a 5,500 sq ft house with a Cadillac in the garage.

[Hiraeth]

15. and who is she voting for?

[Mr.Bill]

16. I haven't spoken to her about that,

but I don't think she's never voted for a Democrat in her life. She is somewhat liberal on social issues, though, especially as she has gotten older.

[Doctor_J]

18. The republicans and new democrats worry more about your SIL than working class Americans

They are all disgusting parasites.

[daleanime]

8. Yes.

[TryLogic]

9. If US health care was run by organized crime, would it be any different?

We pay for protection (insurance), we pay outrageous prices, the system buys politicians, etc.

[freebrew]

12. We'd probably have better healthcare...nt

[Festivito]

13. Organized crime would be easier to break. We had VERY organized crime.

on the order of the military industrial congressional complex very organized crime.

17. About 10 years ago I had triple-bypass surgery.

The total bill for the ambulance, surgery, and post-op care (total of 6 days in the hospital) came to $125,000. If you google the cost of bypass surgery, you will find that in places like the Philippines or Singapore, the max cost of around $25,000. Now, tell me we aren't paying for fat executive paychecks and stockholder dividends rather than high-quality health care.

31. I think Biden had the idea of slowly lowering the age of Medicare

Republicans seem to like Medicare. maybe it is the way to go
