Today the Washington Post reported that AHIP contributed $86.2 million to lobby against the health care plan in 2009.
That's a fair bit of change!
AHIP is America's Health Insurance Plans.
I wonder where they get that kind of money.
Well, I imagine they make the money from my premiums.
So basically, they took my money to lobby against me.
That's a little troubling.
This year my rates went up a bit. I guess they needed more money to pay for lobbying in 2011.
Wow I am so upset I'm going to cancel my insurance! Well not really.
I'll send some more money to Democratic politicians- so that they can battle the insurance companies that I am supporting !
Is there something wrong with this picture ?
