The only way businesses can control health care costs is to reduce benefits or fuck their employees
Today, we were told, the administration heard these tales of fiscal 'responsibility' from the titans of industry. The administration's spokesperson said he would consider how to apply these money saving methods to the national health care plan, now being formulated.

Isn't that swell?

1. Fucking their employees could lead to unwanted pregnancy
and that would increase the cost of health care. So, the lesson for businesses is, "DON'T FUCK YOUR EMPLOYEES!"

2. Yeah, peachy, preserve their profits no matter how many of us they kill
It's really comforting to know our fine Senators are taking the health professionals who give enough of a shit to show up as a big joke.

I want all those spineless bastards gone. All of them, every last one of them, needs to be defeated, thrown out of office, and replaced with someone who cares more about citizens than corporations.

4. "Our" president is in league with them as well
He's quite willing to throw us all under the bus to protect the health insurance crooks.

A pox on every last one of them. I hope their souls were worth whatever bribes they got from the insurance industry.

5. Why the hell our corporations
aren't backing single payer, government-run insurance is beyond me. Level playing field. Huge bookkeeping and financial concern off their books.

8. I got an email earlier tonight from barackobama.com asking me to sign on as supporting
President Obama's three lame-ass ideas about health insurance. I responded very unkindly.

They are trumpeting this giveaway as a shining success.

Money talks.
