I'm perplexed why the corporate health insurance companies can profit as much as they do. The similarities to the mortgage crisis are there, the lobbying by pharmaceuticals and health insurance companies is equal to creditors and bankers.
The Blue Dogs are telling us one thing by saying they are fiscally conservative yet on the other hand they are personally
fiscally liberal on corporate handouts.
Just on a human level, I find the profit motive to be fucked up on health care here on earth. In the long run we have filled emergency rooms with homeless and transient people, we're storing mentally ill people in jails and when they're out of jail they're looking at you for the next ticket back to a cot and a hot meal.
That is dangerous, expensive and morally bankrupt. This is America?
