The CEO of America’s largest health insurer, Aetna, wants the Obama administration to shut down the federal health-care exchange rather than attempt to fix it while it’s still running.

The executive, Mark Bertolini, told an audience at a community college in Connecticut, “Pushing the pause button right now would be a good thing.”

[who knows what evil?]

Aetna not selling too many ‘revised’ policies..?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He can expect an angry call from Valerie Jarrett.

They’re going to shut down Aetna before they shut down the exchanges.

Per ABC Radio News the Administration claiming to be able to successfully register 17,000 per hour now. Would be willing to bet those registrations are going to a batch file and not updating a server real time.

What the hades——did Obama and Dems think they could control and dictate policies and prices to the insurance industry? Like they were going to bow down and throw economics out the window to accommodate BarryCare?

[Jane Long]

They’re going to shut down Aetna before they shut down the exchanges.

LOL!!

“Pushing the pause button right now would be a good thing.”

Pushing the DELETE button right now would be a good thing.

Screw these insurance agencies. They supported Obamacare thinking that it was a free ride on insuring new Americans without having to advertise. What they got is a kick in the as@ and they will never recover. And these damn agencies are to stupid to learn they have been conned and still are not willing to fight to eliminate Obamacare. DUMB JACKASSES. Hope they all go out of business since they are no different that Obamacare itself.

“Pushing the DELETE button right now would be a good thing. “

We may have progressed far enough into this hole to make this difficult to do, but I am no expert.

[G Larry]

That’s twice for Mark, in one week.

Aetna is gonna get whacked by the Feds for not keeping their yap shut!

Then Mark will be personally targeted by the IRS.

[C210N]

Pushing the DELETE button right now would be a good thing.

I think I'd rather push the FLUSH button for this turd.

I see, this will be the way Insurance Companies try and get out of Obamacare while saving some face.

Sorry Insurance, you already sold your souls to a liar so deal with it.

[Don Corleone]

My company just switched our policy from Blue Cross Blue Shield to Aetna. Don’t know anything about them except that some local docs don’t accept them. Are they reliable?

““If you do it right now, five to ten years from now nobody’s going to remember this,” Bertolini said,”

Another CEO claiming Americans aren't smart enough to remember what happened to them 5 to 10 years from now.
