Too Good To Be True

Some health insurance is better than none — right? Wrong. Insurers like Aetna and Cigna are fooling desperate families with that line as they peddle low-cost so-called “limited benefits” plans which can turn out to cause more trouble and sorrow than having no plan at all. New Haven’s Henry Fernandez, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, smokes out the scam. Click here to read his column about it. Click here to comment on it.

This is just more proof that Universal Health Care is needed!!!!! It is time to start think of the people! The insurance companies see as giant lollipops (suckers). And not just in this disgusting situation! They have us by the gonads. They contribute funds to the right people. Why because they can afford it!
Until all of the people in this state have the same insurance that Rell and her people have we will never be one nation!

The Government can't pave the roads, can't keep up with our highways, is having a tough time educating our kids, can't seem to help us when a hurricane or tornado hits, can't secure the borders, can't manage a war correctly, can't ensure that voting machines work correctly, can't keep some police officers from breaking the law, can't keep from raising our taxes, etc, etc, etc ....
but they will do a good job with managing YOUR health insurance and care! (Um ... don't think so.)

FromTheAnnex for 400,000 with out health care and the the tons of thousand that are majorly underinsured I don't think is a matter of the goverment managing there health insurence because they have none at this point...it is making it possible for them to have health care!
