Actually, the government isn't in bed with the insurance companies on the health bill.
One thing folks should realize (if they don't already know); EVERY politician - yes EVERY ONE - gets "campain contributions" from the insurance cartel. It's a matter of public record. It's how they pushed through mandatory auto insurance. And MANDATORY auto insurance laws that REQUIRED US TO INSURE EVERY VEHICLE WE OWN SEPERATELY. Before they insured the driver, & we could drive anything & were covered. NOW I have to buy SEPERATE INSURANCE ON EVERY CAR, even though I CAN ONLY DRIVE ONE AT A TIME!!!
I suspect MANDATORY health insurance will make the cost soar, just like it did with auto insurance. They'll make billions more than they do now, & just like now (with both health & auto) they won't have to cover anything they don't want to. You'll HAVE to BUY health insurance, even if they refuse to cover anything you're most likely to get sick from.
I had health insurance once, too. I paid on the policy for TWENTY FIVE YEARS. Then I had a minor problem. I called & they said they didn't cover it. So I asked for a copy of the policy (my mother had bought the insurance when I was younger & I didn't have a copy). When I got it & read through it, I had insurance allright: it covered
UP TO $150 for the loss of a limb &
UP TO $300 for HEART SURGERY !!!! You gotta be FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!!! Gee ya' think if I had heart surgery I couldn't come up with $300 to pay the doctor? WhyTF did I have this policy (& pay them) for 25 years? Did I have "health insurance"? Hell NO I didn't have health insurance! It was NOTHING but a CON by the insurance cartel!!!
