"Over 59 Million Americans Lack Health Care" - "Health insurance corporations profits are SOARING"

[LaPera]

"More than 59 million Americans had no health insurance the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported Tuesday." - CBS News

(Personally), I believe it's closer to 100 million uninsured. And what about the tens of millions who are counted as having health care insurance but are really so UNDER insured that almost nothing is paid for by their insurance carrier if & when they do need health care - While less & leas is covered by their inadequate premiums even though it's costing people more & more money each month!

"Health insurance profits are skyrocketing - Ten firms alone have reported over $9.3 billion in profits for the first three quarters of 2010." - Huffington Post

Insurance corporations profits "soar" as the filthy lying greedy cold-hearted insurance industry tries to convince everyone that it's the Democrats health care plan as the reason for the zooming cost of the insurance corporations premiums that keep going up & up (and have been going up substantially for over ten years) - The insurance corporations blame everyone else for their outrageous rates & increases as the insurance corporations salaries, bonuses and profits keep going up and up.

It's the lying greedy insurance corporations that use the Democrats who are trying to achieve health care for all, as the reason for the insurance companies themselves who are raising rates, and in reality it's obvious to anyone with a brain to see that it's the insurance corporations insatiable greed for insurance their rates constantly going up and it's also extremely clear that the insurance corporations don't care one tiny bit about the sick & dying, they only care about making more and more profit at the sicks expense!

1. And this is why we need to bring back pre-existing conditions

Not to mention reinstating those lifetime caps on coverage. Otherwise, health insurance corporations might not have such soaring profits, and if you think that illness is an odd place for a profit center, then you're just a stinkin' socialist! Real Americans don't age, or get sick or injured.

5. Real Americans can dress a gunshot wound like we used to in the pioneer days! nt

6. That's right!

Shot of whisky, bite on a bullet, while your buddy digs out the slug with his bowie knife and you're good as new.

13. Funny or Die vid -- Gus Porter, American Legend

Gus Porter, American Legend with Thomas Haden Church

Gus Porter gets mauled by a bear, but he won't let the socialist Canadian health care fix him up, so he'll hike back to America.

3. We switched from HMO to Keiser. Ostensibly a non-profit organization. nt

[truedelphi]

15. Keiser is a great HMO, until the day it isn't.

Document any and everything you do with them. Never leave the facility without some type of proof you were there, and what you were seen for.

They really screwed my family over, and when it was decided that at a lawsuit might be a decent remedy, then POOF! the necessary records of all the visits pertinent to the case were somehow disappeared. Why, M. was never seen at all during mid October or Mid November 2005!!

9. Glenn Beck is saving the Health Insurance execs from the guillotine

On my good days I imagine that before I shuffle off I will get to participate in the revolution, when these people get paid in full for their malevolence. On the other days I realize that stupidity is epidemic in this country, and nothing will ever happen.

10. We are finding out what it's like to live in a third World country.

[LaPera]

11. The insurance industry is a relatively unregulated industry & exempt from antitrust laws

and they pretty much do as they please, preferring huge profits and offering very little to the people in return.

Just the way republicans everything in our country to be run.....All collusive conglomerates deregulated while privatizing everything government run all for huge over-charging, corner-cutting corporate profits.

[Catherina]

12. In that case HCR is a success! That was the whole plan.

The only thing the health industry care about when they wrote the bill was their own profits.

A roaring success. Rec'd

14. And meanwhile, somewhere in Chcicago, a mayorial candidate is

Slapping his thigh and laughing all the way to the bank.

It worked out great for the Rahm Emanuel's of the world. Not so great
for most of us.
