thank you very much! I thought more people would see it as a new thread than buried in a long thread.

5. Just about how it uses taxpayer money to provide profits to insurers. |
|
But apparently nobody cares. It's not news.

6. I noticed the same thing. It's Like bush's privatization of social security. |
|
a corporation makes a profit, and the people receive what's left after the top skim. like in bush's SS plan, a wall street crony system gets all the frontload of huge sums of state invest money (anyone remember Noe in Ohio?) and whatever is not lost from that, goes to the people.
Its a case of NOT emliminating the largest contributor to the problem: the insurance companies. It just insulates the insurance companies further from being eliminated.
Its the exact opposite of Socialized medicine.

"But apparently nobody cares. It's not news."
Hmmmm, now that's an interesting comment and fairly cynical. I've made those kind of comments to friends and acquaintances, assuming they don't care about what's going on. However that's not true. I've found out that because people don't talk about a point doesn't mean they haven't read or they aren't informed. I read DU and the links all the time, but I rarely post, so many of the posts seem to go no where and if I wish to discuss an issue I prefer conversation to posting on DU, but I do care and I continue searching the issue.
The comment simply reminded me of my own cynicism and arrogant feelings of superiority when I say "guess no one cares" when in fact a great many people care and I would venture to say quite a few people have checked out the link, I know I have and am grateful to DU for the many hours of research that go into these posts and finding the links. I just think we would all be surprised at how many care.

10. Watching all the support |
|
for plans that provide taxpayer-funded profits to insurers... yeah... it's left me a tad cynical.
So yes, you're right... it's not that no one cares... just that far too few do.
Thanks.

8. the reality is they could simply eliminate the insurance companies altogether and trim down the fat |
|
of the system, and improve health care in general.
but why would the DLC do that?

11. Please read my signature and then call GOP contributor Rite Aid |
|
Rite Aid recently bought the Eckerd pharmacy chain and now Rite Aid has pharmacies in 50 states.

We have a small business. A tax credit won't help us be able to provide health insurance to our three employees unless the prices drop drastically or the tax credit is very generous. We have looked into it but the cost was enormous.
