Grassley: 'Public option' a 'deal-breaker'
Comments
This Grassley person needs to be voted to to the garbage heap where he belongs. It is obvious he is on the take from the insurance company lobbiests like so many other Republicans who are fighting real health care reform that we need. To me who has been denied my insurance claim by Universal Health Care Inc of St. Petersburg Florida run by Dr. Akshay Desai from India yet almost cost me my leg and my life when they denied my claim for a deadly knee infection I had. I was dieing, but their medical director said this "was not an emergency" so I was not covered! What is an emergency to this horrible man? And thier CEO Akshay Desai who donates hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Florida political machine?
These "for profit" insurance company CEO's are getting obscene salaries of hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars by denying care to those who need it and over 20,000 people WITH INSURANCE are dieing every year because of this horror. Untold hundreds of thousands are going without needed care through denial of service. We would be much better off if ALL of these for profit criminal enterprises did go out of business and their criminal CEO's tossed out of their 12 bedroom mansions, private jets, yaachts and sumemr homes WE pay for by dieing for them. A public option would save ALL taxpayers billions of dollars NOT cost them because we would still have to pay premiums to the government whose cost to run this project is only 3% compared to 30% for insurance companies. We need health care NOT budget breaking health insurance that only benefits the insurance companies, ie criminal enterprises and not those who THINK they are covered. Gary M. Ruehle )^_^)
Everyone raise your hand if you think the government can run ANYTHING for 3% - or efficiently for that matter. I would take either
