Insurance Bites Back

Thanks, Koch brothers. You’ve let me know decades later what the insurance companies have been doing to customers for decades.

It’s not about insurance, it’s about investing, making money and denying claims. They have always been against being regulated by Congress (like the banks) and have spent billions going state by state so that you can stop a process that will actually insure Americans and make sure Americans pay them for it.

They’ve had to hire more lobbyists and deal with different state infrastructures (I worked for one state in insurance for the Speaker of the Assembly) so all so the Tea Partiers can go state by state and denigrate a law that was passed to help all Americans. Americans against affordable healthcare with no pre-existing conditions.

Conservative states are going to deny coverage. There goes the South and Rick Perry of Texas who wants to be president but this will topple the castle. The Supreme Court now voted that voter discrimination is OK there as well. Isn’t that a party in a teacup.

I don’t know who is on the Ted Cruz for Prez bandwagon but it’s not me. I think he’s the next Newt but that’s about it. He can end up at a college 25 years from now teaching his politics. I think he’s the debutante at the ball that shined for a moment until potential suitors decided he’s too brash and not too smart and is way too big for his britches. And he’s a freshman, for heaven’s sake! Lincoln could have done it. Cruz cannot.

To the insurance companies of the USA, stop this folly. Elderly and poor people in our country are going to get and pay for health insurance. That’s the way it’s going to be. Get used to it.

For the tea partiers, enjoy spending millions going state by state. Remember what I used to write in my insurance bill reports: Offer Well Babies insurance for a fee? Will Increase Premiums. That was the standard insurance company line.

That’s, sadly where we are today 30 years later. Affordable care. Give it a chance. Dee
