If it ain't broke then don't fix it ... WELL THE MEDICAL INSURANCE & DRUG CO. GAME IS BROKEN

The medical insurance companies made a power move a decade ago to take over the medical insurance for which we pay when they announced that to "reduce cost and better manage health care" the insurance companies would take over management of our health insurance services.  I guess they elbowed we mere consumers out of the way because we were to stupid to handle our own choice of physician. Anyway insurance companies are our "friends" aren't they?  HELL NO!

 If not our friends, just what are medical insurance companies?  These self-serving monopolies take in as much money as they can get away with and pay out as little as possible. If a person's health really goes into the dumpster these "cost reducing" friends price a person out of being able to maintain coverage or just flat drop a person in need.  So much for being our friends we have met the enemy.  Insurance costs rise each year and exceed any pittance workers may receive as a wage increase.

 Reduce Costs by their superior management ? ... these corporate bandits continually raise the cost of health care. The financial gouging is carried out with the cavalier attitude of "if you don't like the costs then go without".  Much like the telephone company of old ran over the public and thereby helped propel Lily Tomlin into fame when she would jab at the phone company's go to hell attitude by saying "we are the telephone company ... we don't have to care".  Competition induced by regulation straightened out a lot of the monopolistic telephone company's crappy attitude.

Personally, I am disgusted with the Republican Party's written in stone stance of "NO" while at the same time the Grand old Party has no "yes' or positive remedies to offer. These clowns had the power for decades and did NOTHING to remedy the outrageous financial gutting of we citizens. At least they are excellent at bellowing like a gored ox and blaming every one else for their non-action and scream they need to be put back in power so they can maybe do something this next time even though they did not have the time or interest to do what they should have done.  

Personally, I am disgusted with the Democratic Party because they do not have the balls, ideas, or skills  to get done what needs to be done concerning the health system break down. These fools also receive payola from these corporations.

I have for the first time in my life called my so-called representatives and offered my brilliant opinions. These clowns have no across party lines problems when it comes to their agreeing on raises and insurance for themselves. I have ask each of my representatives to rescues themselves from voting on health care or proposing legislation if they have taken any political donations (BRIBES) from the health insurance companies and drug companies.  I am aware of the fact there are over 200 paid lobbyist distributing millions of dollars to the congress people who already paid by us to do their job ... surely this could not be influence peddling? ... YES IT IS bought and paid for votes from out of the back door that opens into the ally.  

I am no fan of the Federal or State governments taking over for us. However, roads, communications, aviation, transportation, social security, medicaid, medicare, rail roads, etc. all have become government regulated due to necessity or we would have continued to to be screwed by those robber barons. Wake up ... we are being abused and robbed ... the health care system is broken ... and the run wild system needs fixing now not 10 years from now while our "honorable" congress people would continue to line their greedy pockets for another decade or more.

What is up with those morons who parade around shouting they like the medical insurance system just the way it is now? I thought all of those damn fools croaked when they lined up like sheep to drink arsenic cool aide punch with the Jim Jones nuts.
