Is the health insurance business a racket? Yes, literally. And this is why the shameless pandering to robber baron corporations posing as health providers is such an egregious and obvious tactic to do nothing more than plump up insurance company profits.
And do you know whos to blame? Believe it or not, the downfall of the American health insurance system falls squarely on the shoulders of former President Richard M. Nixon. In 1973, Nixon did a personal favor for his friend and campaign financier, Edgar Kaiser, then president and chairman of Kaiser-Permanente. Nixon signed into law, the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, in which medical insurance agencies, hospitals, clinics and even doctors, could begin functioning as for-profit business entities instead of the service organizations they were intended to be. And which insurance company got the first taste of federal subsidies to implement HMOA73
*gasp*
why, it was Kaiser-Permanente! What are the odds? Its all right here to read for yourself. And to perfectly cement HMOA73 as the profiteering boondoggle that it actually was, the law Nixon mandated also included clauses that encouraged medical providers to not CURE afflictions, but to PROLONG them by only treating the symptoms. Theres no money to be made in CURING sickness. But the skys the limit when it comes to forcing people to endure repetitive doctor visits, endless (and often useless and redundant) tests, and
of course
lets not forget the ever-increasing demand for American-made prescription drugs!
