Less than 30% of insurance premiums we pay ever leaves insurance industry

[Toejamsky]

The great bulk of what they get from the sucker public goes to billions in profits. On the other hand 95 per cent of medi-cal budgeted funds, for example, go to the health providers and pharmaceuticals. What the fuck good is insurance raquet profits doing for anyone but the insurance big shots and their 24/7 propoganda efforts. Insurance companies aren't fighting tooth and nail to keep the status quo for nothing! When it comes to health care, it's profits uber alles and the public be damned.

The real kicker is that the National Institute for Health comes up with the majority of these medicines and the pharma companies buy the patents for pennies on the dollar and turn around and gouge us.When we could buy drugs from Canada and Mexico the price was almost half as much as what they charged here in the states but Bush's medicaid scam put a stop to that and made sure his buddies continued to make a killing.Funny how they preach free markets but limit us so the pharma companies can rape us.

Insurance companies, oil companies, they got the resources to relentlessly put out a pack of lies which has the right wing guys brainwashed and arguing even against their own interests. If Obama was a socialist like these twits say, he'd have put a cap on exxon et al. record profits. Instead, we get to pay three dollars a gallon. Whoopee!
