The health insurance big boys appear to be getting nervous

[malaise]

or why is Chet Burrell, President and CEO of Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield, spewing so much BS on Washington Journal this morning. :puke:

1. But...but...I've read on DU they're happy as pigs in shit!

:crazy:

[malaise]

3. LOL

Apparently not since the Chief medical Officer is up next - it's their morning. :hi:

Shite - Dr Jon Shematak has not only worked with them since 1981,but he is also a member of the clergy - this compassionate Xtian is Senior VP and Chief Medical Officer - no doubt he has sent many people home to Jebus as the guru of the death panels.

He sure has that well trained 'insurance' speak softly and chat BS voice. :rofl: :puke:

I can 't wait for the callers on this one.

2. I wonder who just un-rec'd the thread.

One of the anti-Obama astroturfers, I suppose.

4. Probably Dick Armey

or some other dick who works for the insurance industry. :evilgrin:

[malaise]

7. Great call on now

asking why your insurance needs to be tied up with your job since everyone needs health care.

Universal health care is the only answer.

5. I don't really follow stocks, but I saw a few numbers roll by this morning

and the health-related ones were generally down. I think that's a good sign for us. If they're unhappy, something is going right.

6. Another positive sign

When they roll out the CEO and the Chief Medical Officer, they're playing defense.

[girl gone mad]

8. Neither of them seemed the least bit defensive to me.

:shrug:
