The federal government picks winners and losers when it interferes in industry. This time the winners were insurance companies and thier CEO’s, the losers were small business and the middle class.
Obamacare is bankrupting our nation to the tune of a over a trillion dollars a year
Also, FJB paid full list for the jabs and boosters.
President Trump is striking deals to dramatically lower the retail price of drugs. That will lower the total cost of healthcare for Citizens


One of the biggest non-secret facts, the Obama care premiums were kept “low” because of massive taxpayer funds given to insurance companies, companies showing record profits.
Like all dim money laundering schemes, like PP, and NGOs. Tax payer monies are given to these organizations, a few get rich, these organizations give massively to dim politicians.
“This has come in no small part because of federal government subsidies to the insurance industry...
This would explain why the RINOs in the congress/senate did nothing the first two years of President Trump’s first term in 2016. Naw, no kickbacks, ever, never, absolutely none.
The headline is inflammatory, but perhaps no surprise. Every time the government pursues an initiative and spends a massive amount of money, someone receives that money.
In an earlier era, it was the railroads. They received cash payments and land. I know of one company built on the bones of a defunct railroad that is doing very well with mineral, water and grazing rights from the land given to the railroad.
Apparently, insurers were provided a lot of money. I assume that much of that was passed through to the medical industry and benefitted patients. Givern government priorities, it probably funded abortions and transgender operations too. We get what we pay for.
I remember when jugears was out promoting the disaster that is appropriately named after him and he was touting that healthcare was 6% of the US economy. Last I saw, it’s now 18% of the U.S. economy. Government creates so many problems with which to enrich themselves and their friends.
It was a payoff to the insurance companies from day one, and lots of people recognized it as such. And never mind the rhetoric about socialized medicine on either side.
What’s their profit margin?
A bit part of the problem w/commie care is the guaranteed issue. This puts the most expensive patients in the plans, hence, you would expect to see a dramatic increase in payouts.
So yes, they take in a lot more, they also pay out more.
More welfare at the expense of those pulling the wagon.
Check your zip code my ass.
At least the money ended up in the pockets of shareholders. Better that then seeing go to a bunch of NGOs and other Dem grifts such as Solyndra.
Trump has the idea. Send the money directly to the people to fund HSAs.
Great posts BUMP!
How much gets kicked back?
How totalitarians want to push Communism.
It’s prevailing premiums - we see the same thing in education, where unionized school teachers are making a LOT more than teachers in private schools. And do we expect the same results? NO.
Well, duh!
Obama promised: 1) you could keep your same doctor, 2) insurance prices would be cut almost in half, and 3) the quality and availability of medical care would be increased. How many of those promises has Obamacare fulfilled? Hint: Zero. Time to kill the ACA.
It's the MDs and NPs whose income gets increasd because of the overriding volumes of people who are now insured because pf "Affordable Care" together with the shortage of specialists, hospitals, and prescrivers, all of whom have probably plowedtheir discetionary wealthback into the stocks of big phasrma companies.
It is the insurance compamies that try tolimit the greed of the medical suppliers.
--- "insurers made billions at taxpayer expense"--- "pharmaceuticals made billions at taxpayer expense"
--- "MIC insurers made billions at taxpayer expense"
--- "trial lawyers made billions at taxpayer expense"
--- "green industries, so many now bankrupt, made billions at taxpayer expense"
--- "politicians and those well-connected to politicians made billions at taxpayer expense"
We’re just cash cows for these looting industries.
