Health-Care Hu$tles; On The RUN!!

[Mr. Shaman]

"A $46 million round of grants will help U.S. states boost oversight of health insurance premium hikes and keep down costs, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday.

Sebelius has already called on insurance companies to justify hikes, prompting some to withdraw or adjust rates. The Obama administration, sensitive to defending health reform ahead of the November midterm elections, has been pressuring the multibillion-dollar industry for months.

In February, Sebelius chided Anthem Blue Cross of California for rate increases as high as 39 percent. Parent company Wellpoint Inc, the largest U.S. health insurer, later acknowledged "inadvertent" errors and filed for smaller rate increases."

Call me when the children in DC are ready to adress why the premiums keep going up, Last I checked, insurance companies make about 4 cents on the dollar. Hardly robbery. Shoot, obama turned a better profit on his crooked land deal with that thief Rezko.

THAT'S a lie.

You quite-obviously didn't check.​

WENDELL POTTER: The industry doesn't want to have any competitor. In fact, over the course of the last few years, has been shrinking the number of competitors through a lot of acquisitions and mergers. So first of all, they don't want any more competition period. They certainly don't want it from a government plan that might be operating more efficiently than they are, that they operate. The Medicare program that we have here is a government-run program that has administrative expenses that are like three percent or so.

BILL MOYERS: Compared to the industry's--

WENDELL POTTER: They spend about 20 cents of every premium dollar on overhead, which is administrative expense or profit. So they don't want to compete against a more efficient competitor."

I'll believe an Insider, over a 'Bagger, ANY day. ​
