I predict that Waxman will cancel these hearings over the next week, because the RATS cannot win this argument, even aided by their MSM handmaidens.
They think they can get a lot of milage out of casting these companies as cruel and heartless and only concerned about profit rather than the lives of the retirees who worked so long and hard to make the company prosperous.
I predict that along with the honchos at these companies, there will be panels of retirees offering sob story after sob story about how this is action is going to ruin their lives and the lives of their families because they won’t be able to get or afford the necessary treatment.
The sob stories are what we’ll see night after night on the DBM. We won’t see the case being made about how Ovomitcare is forcing them to make the choices of either continuing to pay exorbitant health care costs, lay off employees or close their business. The rational arguments will lose to the emotional human element. Democrats are expecting this and will have a steady parade of victims out there to tug on heart strings.
