Had the gutless wonders at Aetna and the other insurers not fallen for Obama’s lie that insuring millions of uninsured would be a windfall for their companies, they wouldn’t be in this mess today. But they and Big Pharma had visions of taxpayer-funded profits dancing in their heads as they signed off on this disastrous program, giving cover to the Democrat take-over of 1/6th of our economy. They deserve to go broke under the weight of this monstrous scam.

Agreed. I can tell you from first hand experience that all of these healthcare insurers are run by short-sighted, arrogant, politically ignorant executives. When the nightmare of $hitforbrainsCare was in its infancy, the CEO of HCSC (controls the BCBS plans for four states) told a group of its executives, "That she 'had a seat at the table' on how this monstrosity would be created." It was pointed out to her, repeatedly, that she and other CEOs were only being used as propos to add credibility to the legislation, which would ultimately result in the industry's demise, but she dismissed the warnings as "alarmist".

The fact that they were sitting across from liars, anti-capitalists, power-hungry socialists, and tyrant wannabes was of little concern; instead, they were convinced that their organizations would gain enormous revenue from the contracts to administer the nightmare, rather than be absorbed and destroyed by it. Pathetic excuses for "leadership", but consistent with the era in which we now live.
