No more revolving door? Former head of Obamacare is now top insurance industry lobbyist

Where do you go after you've overseen the massively botched launch of the still unfinished ObamaCare website and were caught wildly exaggerating the number of people enrolled in ObamaCare plans?

Why, you get a job as head of the insurance industry's top trade group, of course.

Welcome to the revolving door — Washington, D.C., style.

Caption underneath a photo at the links says;

"Marilyn Tavenner, former head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has been named head of the insurance industry's trade group."

Here's a different pic, from a FR thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3247507/posts "Some Folks Were Lying?" Medicaid Chief Marilyn Tavenner 'Steps Down' After Obamacare "Error" Jan.15, 2015;

In a sane world,any such person would have been blackballed in the industry for a very long time.

It shows us how much the fix was in, from the beginning.

Insurance companies (and investment bankers) had their way with the nation, even as some politicians were trying to make it out to be that they, with the (un)- Affordable Care (or reduced care, and for a higher price) Act, would be doing the screwing over those perceived to be fat-cat entities, for the benefit of the common dweeb.

Hardly any one here at FR was fooled. So far, it has turned out pretty much just as was predicted here by many, and now--- revolving doors, and all.

And where did the rat-headed, smirking fink-face Eric Holder go, but right back to one of the legal firms for the 'too big to fail", then 'too big to prosecute, and jail' bankers, which firm helped write up the portions of the law in that greased the skids for the investment bankers to shunt off losses to the public sector, while making certain that all profits (on the upside, and then again on the buy-in heavier on the downslope sides) of the mortgage crises banking fiasco?

And now, smirking fink face will hide behind 'civil rights' (for just "us") because people hurt his feelings in past times, and he's going to keep getting even, while raking in the big buck$$$ in behind-the-scenes cajoling (and influence peddling).

If the man had any real integrity, he would have stood up and told his own 'just us community' that Michael Brown had the decisive hand in getting himself shot by a (not just "us") policeman.

But no...race relations are worse now. And it's to a large extent because of the fecklessness of Zippy, and Rat-face.

They could have been somebody, they could'a been contenders...but like Bent Willie before, during, and after them, too(?), they chose the easy way, and whored themselves to the one side, and then another. I despise them all.
