I wrote some time ago about the necessity for there having been an under-the-table promise. We all know the insurance companies were supporting deathcare on the promise they were going to get 30 million new customers. And they had to know the Kenyan really wanted National health care. But even if that happens somebody, somebody as large as all the existing insurance companies put together, would be needed to run it. And with the Kenyan promising no losses the rest of the promise has to be that the companies would each get a piece of the “administering.” That’s also why AARP likes it.
I don’t believe the Kenyan has a clear path laid out to get from deathcare to nathealthcare and all those dim voters who supported this krap are in for some real heartburn. Maybe they can use those obamaphones to stop the bleeding-—just strap it on to an owie and wait for it to heal.
Everyone ignore my last post! I do think cherokee1 has it right. The insurance companies don’t want to fight. They’ve been assured that each of a handful of big companies will become regional administrators of the coming National Healthcare System. Of course, like at Munich in 1938, the “last territorial demand” will prove to be a lie, and the private insurance companies will be dissolved, with their functions transferred to the new HSA, modeled after the TSA, but by then it will be too late.
