Once again..Republicans side with Big Insurance ?

Question

Is anyone surprised by this ?

Answer 1

Not surprised at all.

Answer 2

Sad, but true. The GOP and Blue Dog Dems are in the pockets of the for-profit insurance corporations. The other motive for the Republicans on this issue is that they are unwilling to help Americans as long as they block every proposal by the President and mainstream Dems. Every politician and all of their constituents should read the following:

Answer 3

What "insurance company" could be bigger than the Federal government? So you see, my dear yahoo, you, not I, are on the side of big insurance companies.

Answer 4

Do you mean that the insurance industry is simply reporting what the republicans have been trying to explain to you liberals for months? Yes, insurance premiums for those of us educated enough to work for companies who provide us coverage, will increase, once Obama forces us to pay for coverage for those of you, who chose not to educate yourselves and be marketable to big corporations.



That doesn't mean we are siding with them, and I totally agree with the guy pointing out how dramatic democrats are. That is why Hollywood loves the democratic party. The republican party isn't histrionic enough for them.



Imitated....you left out the statistic that the insurance lobbyists have donated 70% of their contributions to democrats, since the dems took control of congress. I wonder why you didn't mention that?

Answer 5

Of course - these mufugs worship the Almighty Dollar!

Answer 6

Once again..Democrats side with the Unions? Is anyone surprised by this.





See how easy that was to turn around.

Answer 7

Both parties do this.



Obama's plan helps the insurance companies.

Answer 8

Not only with bis insurance, but with the Taliban! They both criticized the fact that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Traitors!

Answer 9

What do you mean side with big insurance? According to Obama and the Democrats big insurance has nothing to fear, and that we will be able to keep our insurance companies and our doctors. Are you admitting that this is not the case now?

Answer 10

Once again Democrats side with big government. Is anyone surprised by this?



BTW do you realize that with the senate bills your insurance premiums are going to go up unless you are on the government option?

Do you realize that under the house plan, you may get a national sales tax?

Answer 11

Baucus is a democrat. He is the one selling us to the insurance companies.

Answer 12

It's not about big insurance, it's about big government, especially when it would give the government power it was never intended to have. Let me ask you a question, would you want the kind of health care that indians and vets get? The government screws everything up it touches, and then taxes us to death to trying to fix the screw-ups they cause.

Answer 13

pretty sure you have that backwards. The republicans are a LITTLE BIT more powerful than the insurance industry when it comes to the direction our country goes genius.

Answer 14

Your high premium dollars -> insurance companies -> insurance lobbyists -> Republican re-election coffers.

Answer 15

why are you focused with what the republicans do? or who they side with? i mean yeah they favor the rich and suck... but democrats arent much better. dont be so typical. think for yourself and dont be a party member.



lol thumbs down for saying think for yourself?

thats sad.

Answer 16

This is news?



The health care industry has spent *$300 million* on lobbying in the last six months!

Answer 17

No. They know where their money is. chuck grassley has been awarded $2.1 Million in contributions by the pharmaceutical industry during his career.

Answer 18

You say that like it's a bad thing.



The difference being that Big Business still requires you to buy their product. Big Government will just make you take it. You pay for it either way.

You can be a customer, or an expense....choose wisely.

Answer 19

What do you think "supply side", "trickle down", "Reaganomics" is?



Republicans will ALWAYS be for Big Insurance companies........

Answer 20

And the democrats won't let us see the senate bill!

Answer 21

Do you prefer small insurance? Where is the logic in that?

Answer 22

I m okay with it,



as in, them cancelling their contract whenever they want



them denying me coverage on whatever they want



Sadly its more about money then it is anything else. Even tho, all i see is republicans, being a tool by big buisness in their quest for money.

Answer 23

Big insurance wouldn't be "Big" Insurance without government help.



What we need is free market capitalism.

Answer 24

We don't just side with insurance, but BIG insurance huh ? Liberals are so dramatic. God bless.

Answer 25

Why do you hate free enterprise?

Answer 26

Not at all. There is a reason the insurance industry has been able to control the market for so long,

Answer 27

No like good sheep they are being lead to the slaughter.

God bless.

Answer 28

Nope not at all ; they are only Patriotic when it comes to big money.

Answer 29

That's what they are paid to do.
