Senators to strip health insurers

Sure they did. It's part of the plan. This is the road to single payer health insurance.

Yes,yes, preferably Medicare for anyone that wants it, as one of the options. :2wave:

Did they stop to think about how all the cost of reorganizing, renegotiating, and working of contracts, assets, etc is going to get passed on in premium costs?

I would think that United/Coventry, whatever insurance that has a state to themselves, when they found themselves with some competition from a couple of other insurers, plus maybe a start up or three, would see if they could be a bit more efficient.

What cracks me up the most are all the people who scream about free markets, and then scream about how insurance companies need an exemption from free markets. LOL.

So you consider anti-trust regulation to be a plus for the free market? I thought state intervention in the economy is the antithesis to a free market. The invisible hand of the free market replaced by the iron fist of the state.

I mean the problem of a lack of competition in the insurance industry couldn't have been solved in another way, by (I don't know) stop making it illegal to get insurance from out of state providers. Nah that would never work, because that would entail less governmental regulation and not more, and the jack booted corporatist thugs now running the country can't have that now can they? In fact what we really need is a public option so that businesses dump their private insurance provider and force their employees to opt into the state insurance provider thereby in effect creating a de facto nationalized health care system. And thanks to the rescinding of the anti-trust legislation there will be no privatized insurance company left which is large enough to compete with the state.

Will the state (the only true monopoly in this country) be forced to abide by the same anti-trust legislation as the private sector? Ya don't hold your ****ing breath.

It's about time somebody put a foot up their right wing nazi asses.
 
Would someone mind explaining to me in laymon's terms what antitrust is, and what an exemption from it would mean?

No, no, single payer for everyone, tax the haves so the havenots can get free stuff. That's what it's all about. Why do you think there's been zero attempt to fix the economy. The more poor folks, the larger the welfare class, the more votes can be bought. All the big dictators in history did the same thing.
 
What this is really all about is the study that was recently released by the insurance industry demonstrating that this reform will in fact increase the cost of premiums, the corporatist jack booted fascist thugs now running the country couldn't have any of that pesky dissent, so now they are being punished.
