Let's be blunt. The current "plan" for Health Care Reform is Bullshit.
After cutting through all the Bullshit, what is the real effect of the current "plan?"
The effect is to force 95% of Americans to give the InsCo's a portion of their paycheck.
Without a true Public Option this is a Health Care Bill that mandates, by law, that nearly every American HAS to, is forced to, must, buy insurance......from the very industry that has caused the Health Care Crisis.
By Law.
With no alternative.
Without a true Option, this Health Care Plan is a REWARD for the Insurance Companies that are the villains in the Health Care Crisis.
Let me say that one more time.
Without the choice to opt out of buying Health Insurance from the Insurance Companies that are making huge profits off of America's misery, the current plan is a REWARD for the very Corporations that have caused the crisis.
Health Care Insurance Corporation stock went UP after the Presidents speech....where he announced that only 5% of Americans would be eligible for the currently planned, and thus mis-identified, Public Option.
If the current plan is implemented, for the first time in our nation's history, 95% of Americans will be forced to... pay money to a Corporation.
Forced to.
With no Option.
Forced to. Forced to pay money to Corporations whose incompetence, inefficiency and greed is demonstrable and painfully evident. Forced to pay money to the Corporations that have been Murdering by Spreadsheet our friends, neighbors and relatives.
With no Option not too.
Yes there will be regulations, (with the fine print written by the Insurance Company lobbyists) yes there will be an end to (with the fine print written by the Insurance Company lobbyists) denial for pre-exsitng conditions, yes there will be (with the fine print written by the Insurance Company lobbyists) an end to recission.
But no matter what guarantees we are given by the Corporations (how many of you have been given what is supposed to be an ironclad guarantee by a Corporation, and then found out it wasn't an ironclad guarantee after all?) the fact remains that for the first time in history their will be a national law that YOU must give YOUR money to a for profit Corporation.
A Corporation whose very purpose is to give the least amopunt of service possible for the most amount of money possible....because that is why Corporations exist.
With NO other Option.
No Option but to become an Insurance outlaw.
Yes we are forced to give money to the government in the form of taxes, but the government is not trying to make a profit. Yes, IF I WANT TO drive in California I must pay the Insurance Companies.
But I have the Option not to drive. (And their should be a Publicly Run Option for that too.)
But now, for the first time ever, the very act of existing in the Untied States will mean that I am FORCED to line the pockets of a For Profit Corporation.
With no Option not to.
Maybe someone can help out here, what is it called when your government forces you to give money to a For Profit Corporation, with no Option not to?
Is the only solution to the Health Care Crisis that the Insurance companies created REALLY forcing us all to reward the Corporations that created the crisis in the first place?
REALLY?
Are we REALLY incapable of finding any other Option than being extorted into paying the very people who created this crisis in the first place?
The current Health Care Plan REWARDS the Insurance Companies for doing such a bad job that their incompetence has created a crisis. The current Health Care Plan forces nearly every American to REWARD these vultures for doing such a bad job that they are bankrupting the country.
No one should ever be forced to give money to a For Profit Corporation, and not have a way to opt out. But that is exactly what the current plan mandates.
And that is just .....wrong
