Health Care Control And Profits

HEALTH CARE REFORM SEEKS CONTROL, NOT COMPETITION
INSURANCE COMPANIES PROFITS HALF OF HEINZ FOODS


Today Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced the public option would be included in the Senate's HealthCare Plan in order to promote COMPETITION. WRONG, it is all about CONTROL. Control of your life, control of your health, control of your children/grandchildren, and control and acquisition of your finances.

COMPETITION in the sale of health insurance policies can be achieved by a single sentence. Allow insurance companies to sell policies across state lines. Done. That's it. No need for 1400 pages and the destructuion of the health care system. But this is all about CONTROL.

Senator John Kerry then added to the fray by again bashing the insurance companies' profits as obscene. Just how offensive to prevailing concepts of decency are insurance company profits?

Insurance companies rank low at the bottom of the list- 2.1%

As Charles Krautheimer stated, the Dems are rarely concerned with fact so this probably won't matter, but Mr. Kerry's wife's company, Heinz, earned profits TWICE that of the insurance companies. So Mr. Kerry should really not be speaking out on anyone's 'obscene' profit.
