Let’s coin a term for the OBAAMA administration’s new health care initiative…
Big Health is the union formed by the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Both of these mega-monolith industries must be salivating at the prospect of the U.S. government bankrolling their industries. After we gave out welfare checks to banks and to General Motors I can’t see why these beasts wouldn’t be in line waiting for their stimulus packages.
The insurance machine has been digging deep into the government’s pockets since Katrina, hell, since September 11th for that matter. The largest insurance corporations have underwritten so many different facets of American business that their bad investments are our responsibilities now. Too big to fail is a recipe for only one thing it seems like. Failure.
Big pharma takes its cues from the various pandemics that are posited in the mainstream media complex. Swine flu and athlete’s foot are the current bad guys they are fighting against. How is the president going to be able to regulate these behemoths when they both understand how to manipulate the press? The president will need the congressmen and the senators to eschew the greed that normally goes with their positions.
Get ready to vote your senators out of office in November if they block healthcare reform.
