...OHIOSo.. the jest of what they are saying is “cut off the money and we pull the trigger on this .45 we are holding to your head..”
And there’s their threat. Threw down the Ace awfully quickly, didn’t they? I can’t type anymore ...it would just be a string of expletives....
They got into bed with the man carrying the STD’s and now they want a cure.
The answer is to let competitive companies jump in to compete without regulation.
so what we need to do is defund Obamacare given The House Of Representatives control the purse, budget (obviously we need a new Speaker to accomplish anything at all...)
and eventually repeal the whole stinking mess when we can
A one page bill would avoid that. Health care freedom to let businesses sell what they want and businesses and employees make their own decisions.
Hmmm, I guess their poker hand had fewer cards in it than they thought. Such a pity... It looks like they’ll be folding sooner than they thought they would.
I wonder if they kept enough out to play with later on at the next high stakes game?
If the government does bailout the insurers then we’ve got single payer already.
So, the plan is to stay with Obamacare, which can’t work and will kill the working class or move over to single payer which is free (sure it is), but offers no real service.
Reminds me of the scene from Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff puts a gun to his head and tells everyone to drop their weapons or the N-Word gets it.
Better idea: REPEAL Obamacare!
...OHIOWell, at least the topic is getting broached.
We don’t have anybody else responsible in this government mess other than Democrats, if it isn’t Republicans. So they have to act. Nobody else is there to do it.
I say yes. The Blues are our lifeline back to sanity. Not just bail them, but get them and a consortia of other insurance firms intensively involved with a private reconstruction plan.
Idiots.
Perhaps the insurance industry should have thought about that when they were cheerleading for Zerocare.
They wrote the rules requiring coverages for people who couldn't possibly have a particular condition as a way to spread risk, increase costs, and increase their profits.
They pushed the mandatory coverage as a way of increasing market share.
They pushed the employer mandate as a way of getting even more customers.
And they wrote the rules guaranteeing that if, even after all that they still couldn't make a profit, we would pick up the tab.
How convinient for Blue Cross Blue Shield to blame it all on the Republicans.
That is the point Republicans should fight back on. But we all know they won’t.
Boo-hoo. Put all these traitors out of business. They and Big Pharma crawled in bed with the Democrat dogs and now they have fleas.
You can’t tell me that doctors and hospital administrators aren’t bright enough to find a Plan B to keep from being government lackeys, practicing ObamaCare without a peep.
That won't work with decent people, only democrats. As a productive person, I would be happy to see those including Blue Cross who tried to benefit from crony capitalism pay the price of their corruption. I have no sympathy for any company that dies of stupidity while trying to rip me off.
They know the opposition well. They know the Republicans are led by a bunch of cowardly inarticulate backbiting boobs who are pretty much totally focused on lining their pockets, getting even with their personal enemies (99% of whom are also Republicans), and getting positive mentions in the MSM. Which never happens.
For a private company to threaten the Democrats as a party, and name them as a party, would be suicidal.
But BC/BS knows perfectly well that they need fear no reprisals from thr Republicans.
Bend over taxpayers — here it comes
