It was bad enough when the fabricated grass roots, conservative movement paid for by multimillion dollar coorporate executives were showing up at town hall meetings and spewing their lies about what wasn't in the health bill, now the health insurance industry is taking a shot at the democrats and president Obama's effort to reform healthcare.

Yes, the same health insurance companies that have been raising our premiums and causing pain and suffering to those of us who half to pay their huge premiums, the employers who have to eat the cost or not offer the benefits to their workers and kicking off those who do get sick.

They say that the public option would infact raise rates by as much as $4000 by 2019....The White House of course has to respond to this and now we will see where our elected democrats really stand.

The American people have been getting killed with rising health insurance costs and this is what they say, that they will continue to raise rates even with reform? Fine, if this reform goes through and they continue to raise rates we will have single payer because I can guarantee you that everyone will choose the public option and all these whining insurance companies can go belly up.

The sad part is that I don't think the reform bill is what any of us democrats voted for last November anyway. I have seen nothing being mentioned about eliminating pre-existing conditions and prohibiting health insurance companies from dropping patients when they get sick. There is nothing about prohibiting companies from raising rates when you get sick either. The other big one that we wanted was making ALL health insurance companies non-profit.

Its sad that this healthcare reform bill has gotten so watered down by a bunch of screaming idiots who were generating lies with their conservative coorporate leaders.

Next November is looking more and more like an Indpendent year, time to get third party politicians a chance to get in there and stir it up. Third party politicians that represent the middle class of this country.
