The President shone a spotlight on the sin of rescission -- the process by which insurance companies protect their profits by dumping customers when they get sick. This outrage has been under-covered by the media, but congressional hearings revealed that just three insurance companies have kicked 20,000 customers off their plans. They included the woman President Obama referred to tonight, whose aggressive breast cancer was denied treatment because she once had acne. The congressional hearings uncovered documents proving that the insurance companies had saved themselves $300 million by kicking those folks off -- and insurance bureaucrats got bonuses and promotions based on who they dumped. This is an outrage. If Sarah Palin wants to see a real-world death panel, she should look no further than the corporate insurance executives whom she so zealously defends. ]
Okay, I'll 100% say that's wrong if true, and don't for a second think I believe what's written when there is no documentation from anyone.
Then governments role, in the state she resides in, is to fix that immediately. There is not one thing proposed in the bills submitted that will correct that. Read the horror stories about medicare, medicaid, and the one that makes me most ill, veteran care programs.
It's just like the idiots saying this will cost 900 billion over the next ten years and they are gonna pay for it by eliminating the 900 billion of fraud and cheating that goes on in Medicare now.....
But we can't eliminate that now without this new program??????? Kiss my Azz......
Anyway, I get pizzed. Every single American should write to their Congressmen, Senators, and the Whitehouse and tell them to save the 90 billion this year, put that towards an expanded medicaid program for the uninsured, and forget about everything else for now. If that works over the next year, and they can truely add 46 million people with the 90 billion in savings by eliminating fraud, they have my vote for the next step.
