A Goldman Sachs report projects earnings per share and stock values of the five largest insurance companies under four different health care reform scenarios. It is an excellent example of how vampires think, and shows us which facets of the reform proposals are most frightening precisely because they represent true reform. They are: cuts to Medicare Advantage, regulations that disallow exclusions for pre-existing conditions and recision, and finally, the odious public option.

  1. #1    This proves exactly what I've been saying. The Insurance companies writing the bills? NOT. They want to kill all attempts at reform or regulation, even weak ones. Even a "bad bill" is worse for them than no bill. And Public Option WILL challenge them, will be where the expansion is, even in it's weakened form.

  2. #2    Crazy isn't it?

    Obama-care steals a trillion dollars from working and retired Americans and gives it all to the health mafia. It's really just a horribly regressive tax on working and retired Americans. But the campaign bribes for this trillion dollar PRIVATE TAX are enormous.

    The Dimocraps are desperate to keep those campaign bribes rolling in. First without batting an eye they sold out women's right to choose. And now they're using Goldman Sachs to try to bolster their case.

    This is the same Goldman Sachs that told everyone to buy Credit Default Swaps while it was secretly dumping its own stash.

  3. #3    "without batting an eye" except that there are already enough votes to block Stupak from being merged with the Senate bill giving it zero chance of being enacted. It's being knocked down by the WhiteHouse and Congressional leaders, it's being pushed by nearly all of the Republicans and a few Democrats as an attempt to derail reform.
    And the Goldman/Vampire report seems to say that reform would be bad for the insurance industry. That's not exactly helping to influence the Senate to pass it, that's an argument AGAINST passage.
    But facts don't matter to a dittohead.

  4. #4    @#3 - Except of course we're talking about Dimocraps here and dozens of them already broke their promises by passing a weak public option.

    Dimocraps have a single strategy: Progressive Promises / Preemptive Surrender.

  5. #5    The solution, if you think the party is leaning too far towards the right, is to bring it back to the left. doing nothing is exactly what Rush wants us to do.

  6. #6    The solution, if the party wants to be re-elected, is for the party to bring itself back to the voters.

  7. #7    If the Democrats were smart (which they aren't) they would put good policy ahead of corruption on health care so they will get re-elected and be free to line their pockets without much scrutiny for a while. Instead, they want to go straight to being the new corporate white meat now that the GOP is a dead man walking.
