President and CEO of America's Health Insurance Plans, a lobbying group says ...
This is absolutely hilarious.

"Ignagni favors another aspect of the proposed health care overhaul: the individual mandate, a requirement that all Americans buy health insurance. She calls it "key to making the whole system work."

1. Yup. They love the corporate welfare part.
There should be a clause forcing them to insure people who can't afford their prices for free.

2. Of course. Let the river of money become a torrent
Beach front homes and antique car collections for all the deprived CEOs. Let the plundering of America become an all-out wonderland of rape.

3. We will "buy" it with taxes, like we do for highways, police, education.
Then they can "require" it for all Americans.

/wishful thinking

5. This is how bad it is, folks. They're out an out saying all they're in this

6. The only way to make "Health Care" work is to....
Kick the fucking Death Merchants out of the room, the building, and out of business of denying and hindering Health Care.

But oh no, much more intelligent and experienced POLITICIANS, evidently are NOT smart enough to figure that out. The majority of the country knows it, but they even think the majority are the "paid for" loons shouting at them.
