Large Companies Dropping Health Care
It used to be when you were looking for a job, one of the factors to look at was their health care package. This may all be changing, if this article is accurate.
Companies Dropping Benefits
Now, this article makes it sound like it would doom all of us if these companies dropped their health care coverage. But let's ask a few questions, first.
When companies say they are spending so much of their money in health insurance, why is that? It's because the for-profit companies have the market cornered when it comes to where you can go to set up a plan for a large employer.
However, what do you think is going to happen when the largest "company" investing in health insurance is the government? What if the government started to control the prices it would pay for services and pharmaceuticals? This would force the health insurance industry to re-think their pricing practices, and force the cost of health insurance to go down if they wanted to lure any of the more lucrative companies back.
Supply? Meet Demand.

Let The Mud Slinging Begin!
Do you see the number? $263,567,683 and counting, and it's only begun. Now with the Health Insurance Reform bills in closed door sessions, the debating and negotiating have begun, and so has the Health Insurance Industry with even more money - money gained from your health insurance premiums, folks - to work the best deal for them, not for you.
Remember those "studies" from the Health Insurance Industry? Now there is some speculation that they may not all be fact - according to the company who wrote the study! Never mind that, it hasn't stopped the Republicans from quoting it anyway.

The Latest Joke In Health Insurance Reform
is actually on the Heath Insurance Industry. And yes, this laughing is for real. I love it when U.S. Senators get ticked off, and that's exactly what has happened. Health Insurance companies and their lobbyists have been spending big money to get the ear of Congress to take not only Single Payer off the table, but also the compromised start of the negotiations - a public plan paid for through Medicare. Okay, they've gotten their wish.
Now, because some of the language is starting to get "soft" on the law to make health insurance coverage mandatory for all U.S. Citizens, the Health Insurance companies are coming out with one "study" after another telling the public that their rates are going to go up if they don't get their way.
Senator Chuck Schumer has answered their response with one of his own: by calling on Congress to repeal the law made in 1945 to make Health Insurance Companies exempt from Anti Trust Laws. This is why you haven't seen much by way of real competition within this market, certainly not like you see with car insurance.
I LOVE THIS!!!!
