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.

As long as insurance companies pump billions into politician's
pockets, they are not going anywhere.


I would not bank on that. Looking at the congression spending and
revenue projection for 2011 and beyond, huge tax increase are in store
to offset the even more spending on top of the debt spending going on now.

In fact, it looks like total taxation, excluding health care has to double.

Government is no longer happy with 0.1% kickbacks when they can get the
whole health care revenue stream. GM, GMAC, Fannie, Freedie will make
sure the politicians get the greece in lobbiests, government lobbiests
that is. But government wants that huge hunk of change to skim it for
30-50%. Plus to use it to "justify" the whopping tax increases.

That is what they did in Canada and UK when the fat lady sung the whole
song.
