So CBS news keeps putting forth stories about health care insurance costs…
They tell us how tragic it is, how may people choose not to buy any health insurance because of the cost (usually interviewing someone with a Starbucks coffee or iced drink in their hand) and how insurance rates have gone up faster than inflation and complain about profits for health insurers..
No one mentions that it is because of Obamacare that out health insurance rates have gone up by 5 times in the pat 10 years mostly because of Obamacare policies and the fac that the rest of us are paying for the bottom third of people who get theirs for free. Plus all of the illegals that were brought in by Obama and Biden that also get their health care on the backs of those of us that actually pay for insurance….
Funny how they try to shape the narrative by omission.
It really is all those greedy health care companies, really, truly, it is all their fault.
This BEGAN in 1910 with the Flexner Report, and the Rockefeller CONSPIRACY to DESTROY all competition for the burgeoning “allopathic” (drug-based) medical industry at the time. They bought up EVERY naturopathic school of medicine and then SHUT THEM ALL DOWN, they conspired with EVERY state legislature to make alternatives ILLEGAL, and have worked since then to actively DESTROY any real choice in medical care, while doing everything possible to drive up the cost of what IS allowed. If it makes you feel better to blame Obamacare, go ahead. It certainly didn’t help. But to pretend that virtually EVERY republican AND democrat is NOT in the pockets of bigPharma, the AMA, and bigInsurance is beyond delusional. We will NEVER have affordable and responsible medicine in this country ever again until the government is removed 100% from the medical equation (yes, that is a massive undertaking, but since its all going to collapse soon anyway, at least know what the goal should be upon rebuilding).
Did you skip your meds? On your period?
What does any of that have to do with healthcare costs increasing?
Good points all. And it’s not getting any better. Another ‘issue’ that is ignored is the whole HMO concept that ‘requires’ people to stay in network for treatment.
