insurance companies are starting to ration care by choosing which
doctors they'll let you see.

so much for free enterprise.

This is not "free enterprise".It is regulated enterprise.
When the health care law limited what the plan would charge, they
couldn't afford to pay the good doctors.
You are still free to pay more but now your government mandated
insurance will not cover it.
I think I warned you.

BS. The insurance companies have no business deciding anything
related
to
healthcare. They charge a lot and do nothing.

Then why did Harry Reid let them write the Senate bill? It is a fact
that it was written by a couple of lobbyists who were from UHC.

He didn't. That's a complete distortion. Are you claiming that you were
more
in favor of the House version? If so, I agree. It was better. The one
that
finally passed had lots of compromise built in. That's call politics.
It's
also not the end of the line for reform.


That right wing network PBS reported it on Frontline, naming the
lobbyists. I suppose they could have lied but nobody called them on
it.

Well, read it again. Thanks to people like Nelson more vs. less compromise
had to happen. You claimed it was Harry Reid's fault. Now, it's Obama's
fault. No way it could be Sen. Pull-the-plug-on-grandma Grassley.


You didn't watch the show. There is a lot more in there than the
program notes on that page.


In any case, Grassley and his kind have no credibility wrt to healthcare
insurance reform.
