Reality Check - Health Care Debate Has Self-Interest On All Sides
Posted on 9:03 AM by DCnews
I think there are many people with a genuine interest for people and health care in this debate. Unfortunately, I believe most of those people aren't the people in power.
The Obama Administration is trying to quickly pass this bill before it's fully debated and the details hashed out to please his liberal supporters. The insurance companies are infusing the public with nonsense. Yes, many on the opposition have legitimate concerns, like how health care reform will affect things like abortion and the elderly, but there is incredible amount of self-interest on the side of the insurance companies that is being under reported. The insurance companies are being smart and staying silent, but their invisible hand is ingrained in this process more than we know.
For the insurance companies, this is a business, and this health care reform bill is not in their interest, but they can't show their hand or it'll help their opposition.
