Insurance Industry Fights Back Against Democratic Party Smears

If you enjoy the attack against the insurance industry, you are going to be a very happy person. The wonks at the White House have decided the only way to turn around the negative reaction to Obamacare, is to make the insurance industry the ultimate villain. That's why Nancy Pelosi sent home her "Can't make a Judgment for themselves" congress with orders to blame the Insurance Industry for everything (except for the economy--for that they have to continue blaming Bush).

The fact unacknowledged by Pelosi, is that AHIP (the Insurance Industry's trade association) made their own proposal in December that would eliminate pre-existing conditions, cherry-picking and denial of coverage when a person becomes unemployed. That would have been done without a public option and without the mess of a major bureaucracy that is being pushed today. But that plan would deny the Democratic party of a chance to control more of the economy.

The Insurance industry is not taking this lying down, today they started fighting back against this unfair demonization of their industry by the White House and Congress:

The world knows nationalized medicine works terribly. So, can anyone tell me why the democrats want it so bad? Is it that they want us to be socialist so they’re power is absolute?

Power, and power alone. That is all they want. They are sick and must be sent to the cornfield.

Lots of patients, lots of physicians, hospital workers, etc. Not so many insurance guys.

The insurance companies are the Jews to Obama’s Nazi like National Socialist campaigned. Unloved, near the money, middlemen.

Of course Obama and the Socialcrats want to take that slot over. Handle all the money, and make decisions with backing from their relatives in Congress.

Think of it as a Mob takeover.

Dear Nationwide and all the rest of yuze guys,

Please cancel automobile coverage for every politician and his family.

I'd think a day or two should be enough.

Then blame it on a computer glitch

The only insurance company I would like to see out of business is AARP.
