Perfidy Meets Putty – Congressional Democrats Betray Voters
BY RALPH NADER"
"Do you remember the promises made by the Democratic Party’s presidential and Congressional candidates on universal health insurance?
"You can forget their pledges and somber convictions now that your votes put the Democrats in charge of the House and the Senate.
"The Democrats’ leaders are abandoning their promises and retreating into a cowardly corporatist future.
"Here is the present scene.
"Leading Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have decided to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize the giant health insurance companies like Aetna and United Healthcare to 'cover recently laid-off workers and those who purchase their own coverage,' as The New York Times reported."
There are no price restraints on for-profit insurance premiums or restriction on loophole-ridden policies.
The "American Rescue Plan" allows corporate socialist insurers to decide how and whether they pay healthcare bills with co-pays, deductibles or grant waivers, and all of these anti-consumer details are buried in endless, inscrutable fine print.
