HEALTH CARE REFORM

Why do you think health insurance companies are pouring money into congress and running misleading ads to stop Health Care Reform? They don’t want it, because it is good for the country and not necessarily good for their profit margin. Their actions clearly state where they are coming from and those same actions should emphasize why we need Health Care Reform. Let us look at what is happening around the country right now.

In California, Anthem Blue Cross announcing their rates would go up as high as 39 percent. Elsewhere, large insurers have requested premium increases of 56 percent in Michigan, 24 percent in Connecticut, 23 percent in Maine and 20 percent in Oregon. Do you think this won’t continue in the future without Health Care Reform?

Now, the insurance companies have the vote as well as the lobbyists. We lost one person one vote a long time ago, and now the Supreme Court has legalized the theft. All we can do is empty out our pockets and say thank you at the same time. We have been had.
