You're insane. The insurance companies thought they landed the golden goat. Everybody is going to get coverage!!!! Right. It's the government that bought the insurance companies--not that the insurance companies forced the government to do anything. But even the Democrats know that single-payer would be a bigger disaster than this.
The insurance companies were in favor of reform because what we were doing wasnt' working. Because when those poor people without coverage were showing up at emergency rooms, the costs were being passed off to their customers who could pay.
what they didn't want was single payer, because they wouldn't make any money off of that. Forget that every other country - you know, those European nations you like to pretend don't exist - have single payer, and pay less than we do, live longer, have lower infant mortality rates, etc.
Yes Joe, when you start at a new company, you always start on the bottom of the ladder. Most employers don't F over their current employees because they like you better. It's also out of respect for the employees that have been with the company some time. If you start a company that puts you ahead of other employees that do the same job you do, watch out, because it's only a matter of time before they do the same thing to you.
What I've found is that companies will always find ways to **** you over if you don't have a union to protect you. That's what I figured out in 2008, which is why I'm never voting Republican again. But if you have the talents and the skills, you will get a better paycheck than the person who sweeps the floors.
Again, conservationism. It's like battered wife syndrome.
Yeah, the Democrats are not interested in more government dependents and they are concerned that everybody has health insurance:
Strikes me that the insurance companies could serve those markets, if they wanted to. They don't.
