How people can side with insurance industry CEOs making millions in bonuses and the corrupt politicians they have paid millions to stop health care reform, is beyond me. If people would take a minute and look at how much their premiums have gone up and the deductibles they paid out and insurance companies’ claims denials the last 10 years, they might realize insurance industry is out of control.
The bonuses, bribes, tea parties and salaries of their paid conservative pundits all are paid for from premiums we all pay and add up to billions of dollars. A public option needs to be included in reform, if we want to see serious reduction in premiums. If a public option does not work out, we just vote back control to the Republicans in November and by February they will have it privatized back into the hands of their buds in the insurance industry.
This is a true showdown on who really runs our government, the majority of the American people who want reform or the influential insurance industry that monopolizes health care. It looks like our Congressman Mike Pence will be going with the money and fight for the insurance industry. It would be nice if The Herald Bulletin would let its readers know just how much Pence, Bayh, Lugar and their staff have raked in from the insurance industry.
