With all due respect, I am not so one-sidedly against the Healthcare industry in this Obamacare disaster.

Actually, I find it difficult to believe that all this was initiated by healthcare industry lobbyists, myself. Don’t get me wrong - I don’t think the industry is solely complicit in this fundamental takeover, but that doesn’t mean that certain parts, certain companies and insurance providers didn’t participate in the legislation formulation process once they realized the Democrat Trifecta WOULD CERTAINLY implement some sort of universal care; a promise that they’d drooled over for their constituents for over 50 years or more.

This universal healthcare thing formally goes back to at least pre-1994 under HillaryCare. Without some sort of attribution in your article (links) that actually shows the healthcare and insurance industry originated this, I’d have to chalk it up to an opinion, as I have, and not news/activism.

Mitt Romney spoke of “freeloaders” using the system when he talked about Romneycare in the 2012 campaign. He was saying people needed to pay into the system by being forced to buy insurance.

This is a replay of the auto insurance industry getting government to force everyone to buy car insurance back in the 1970’s and 80’s.

Hillarycare was 1990’s, but the problems leading to Romneycare and Obamacare are in the last decade.

Its most definitely about the money flowing out faster than it was flowing in.
