Does anyone know what would happen to the hundreds of thousands of jobs in the insurance industry if Obamacare passes? I know that President Obama said, and continues to say that you will be able to keep your private insurance plan, however, in his past speeches, and in the proposed bills, they've said repeatedly that you will not. Bureau of Labor statistics reports about 2.3 million Insurance industry wage and salary jobs in 2006. How many of those jobs will be abolished if the Government option takes over? Will we have to go through some bureaucrat to obtain health insurance? Has the administration thought of this backlash? Unemployment is at 9.4% and the AP reported Friday, true unemployment (U6) is around 16% total. Do they care? I guess this is a painful step towards Socialism. Those "demon" insurance companies employ thousands of privately held franchises and small offices (brokerages) that are small businesses. They are the backbone of America's economy. I'm sure that the politicians are willing to return the massive campaign contributions from the demon insurance companies? I believe the administration is so focused on winning that whatever is effected in the process is collateral damage. Government is not the answer. If the Government would ease up on regulations and restrictions, start comprehensive Tort reform and manage waste, abuse and fraud in our healthcare system, (mainly Medicare and Medicaid) and open up nationwide competition, it would reduce costs dramatically. It seems the politicians always want to re-engineer a program instead of fixing the problems and issues that are correctable in a good existing program. It usually means throwing a lot of money at it. Why can't our elected officials fix problems the right way and not just expediently. I believe it was 2004, Obama was in an interview complaining about President Bush and his administration rushing bills through with break-neck speed. I saw the video, imagine what he will say now as he pushes these horrific bills through. I'm sure he has a terrific reason why they have to speed through, and of course, there isn't any hypocrisy! Bottom line, we must stop this assault on America's healthcare system. Keep doing what you do. The Democratic party is imploding! They can insult us all they want... Don't forget, we are voters also. It makes a huge difference when Aunt Bessie is part of a fascist right wing conspiracy known as the Seniors Mafia Family (SMF) and executes protest orders by Swastika Brothers of Schutzstaffel (SBS) in a tailored Brooks Brothers suit. I must admit, I feel all giddy inside when I see the community start organizing against the community organizer. Democracy and Patriotism in motion. "Save our Republic"
Quote Du Jour:
"Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it."
George Bernard Shaw
