There’s only one line in the transcript in which the woman says that the insurance companies are threatening not to sponsor Dem campaigns.
The Bill “We had to pass to see what’s in it” AKA the ACA created a huge monopoly consisting of Big Insurance/Big Pharma/Big Medicine and Big Government. It bypassed the antitrust laws by including government.
ACA IS WORSE THAN TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL
There are a lot of banks profiting as well. And that is also not the complete explanation.
The corruption is spread all around. There is no one conspiracy.
Because the insurance companies wanted it.
I would believe just about any version of this and any version that involves opportunity for corruption.
Consider, ACA payments of something like $27,000 for a family policy having a deductible approaching $10,000. A policy people can’t afford and can’t afford to use when they do pay the premium or have it paid for them via tax credits or direct payments. If that is not a money maker I have never seen one.
It “only” involves something like 30,000,000 Americans not otherwise covered by health insurance.
The system is a mess. It needs to be blown up and to blow it up will not be without pain.
If you think just about any part of Medicare does not contain fraud consider this as well. The optometrist I went do identified cataracts and was all to willing and anxious to schedule me for an appointment to see his partner Opthamalogy group for the surgeries. I said not now, I want to do some research. I called back to set up the appointment last week, about a month later. He now wants to do additional examination before scheduling the surgery, something about the back of the eye images for macular degeneration, I thought I already did that. Sounds fishy to me, sounds like fee grabbing to me. I’ll go somewhere else. I don’t like the feel of any of it.
Cataract surgery with standard lenses is almost totally covered by Medicare. The optional lenses can have a 200% spread in price for the same lens technology. It pays to shop around if you want the upgrade. Price for the upgrade lenses and competence are the considerations.
THERE IS NO CONSEQUENCE OF REPEALING OBAMACARE THAT IS WORSE THAN OBAMACARE ITSELF
I’m sure there’s more than one reason, but the long and short of it IMO< is the democrats want to stay in power and keep the kickbacks coming so they can skim a tidy profit over their stint in government.
Money and power are powerful drugs and once addicted to them, people will literally sell their souls to the Devil for more.
The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
Plausible. Democrats are the best friends of big business. The only ones that can keep up with all the regulations the Dims want, are big business. Big business funds Dims, Dims reward big business.
It is plain to see for anyone willing to look.
