Full title: White House to Health Insurers: Don’t raise rates ahead of elections, we’ll get taxpayers to pay the difference

[Gaffer]

This is just the equivalent of a family/doctor not telling a patient he has stage 4 lung cancer with 6 months to live.

The goal is not having to live and deal with him and his realization that life is over for him.

How truly and utterly despicable this government is.

America’s Health Insurance Plans, the industry’s Washington-based lobbying arm, welcomed the Obama administration’s (blatant political move to mislead the American electorate)..... stating that the Obama regulations “provide important clarity about how these insurer-financed programs will work as health plans prepare their rates for 2015.”

Mmmmmm.....what a show of unity. I guess all the insurance guys are wearing their brown shirts and high boots, as they lockstep smartly before der leader.

Socialization of risk socialists colluding with socialists/totalitarians? Who’da thunkit?

[Cowboy Bob]

Do these insurers realize that the taxpayer subsidies will end after the November elections? Do these insurers realize that after the elections THEY will be stuck with the losses?

Insurers and the American people know they can trust Obama. If things don’t work out for them he can tell everyone he is simply as angry as he can be.

[dforest]

Lie to and cheat people, yeah, that is the way to go.
Democrats are scum.

How is this not a high crime or misdemeanor. Manipulating law and markets for political gain. I’m afraid this genie can’t be put back in the bottle and this is the way the government will work from here on out no matter who’s in power. Stick a fork into the U.S. we’re done.

[Erik Latranyi]

Take these taxpayer subsidies and keep rates low, so our election losses are mitigated, or I will go out there and make speech after speech how the insurance industry is the problem with their greedy, high rates.

[envisio]

They can do this. This is blatant, out in the open trickery and the average American would be able to see it.

But they can do it, out in the open, without any cover or explanation.

The reason they can do it and get away with it is because the media will make nary a peep about it.

Zer0 knows his friends in the media will protect him to the end.

[Gritty]

So, they are stealing our money to give away thereby keeping their lies and criminality hidden so they can keep getting elected to office so they can steal even more of our money and put us irrevocably under a yoke of tyranny where they can exploit us even more?

Did I get that about right?

When and where does the Tar, Feathers, and Pitchfork Parade start?
