So.. the jest of what they are saying is “cut off the money and we pull the trigger on this .45 we are holding to your head..”

This was the plan all along. When 2017 comes, the gubmint will have no choice but to put everyone in Mediscam.

And there’s their threat. Threw down the Ace awfully quickly, didn’t they? I can’t type anymore ...it would just be a string of expletives....

They got into bed with the man carrying the STD’s and now they want a cure.

The answer is to let competitive companies jump in to compete without regulation.

so what we need to do is defund Obamacare given The House Of Representatives control the purse, budget (obviously we need a new Speaker to accomplish anything at all...)

and eventually repeal the whole stinking mess when we can

A one page bill would avoid that. Health care freedom to let businesses sell what they want and businesses and employees make their own decisions.

Hmmm, I guess their poker hand had fewer cards in it than they thought. Such a pity... It looks like they’ll be folding sooner than they thought they would.

I wonder if they kept enough out to play with later on at the next high stakes game?

If the government does bailout the insurers then we’ve got single payer already.

So, the plan is to stay with Obamacare, which can’t work and will kill the working class or move over to single payer which is free (sure it is), but offers no real service.

Reminds me of the scene from Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff puts a gun to his head and tells everyone to drop their weapons or the N-Word gets it.

Well, at least the topic is getting broached.

We don’t have anybody else responsible in this government mess other than Democrats, if it isn’t Republicans. So they have to act. Nobody else is there to do it.

I say yes. The Blues are our lifeline back to sanity. Not just bail them, but get them and a consortia of other insurance firms intensively involved with a private reconstruction plan.

Actually, it was the decision by big insurance carriers like Blue Cross to collude with the Obama Administration (i.e. the destroyers of business) which will lead to single payer (i.e. the destruction of big insurance companies).

Idiots.

Perhaps the insurance industry should have thought about that when they were cheerleading for Zerocare.

And now you know why so many insurer's signed on to -- and even actively promoted 0bamacare.

They wrote the rules requiring coverages for people who couldn't possibly have a particular condition as a way to spread risk, increase costs, and increase their profits.

They pushed the mandatory coverage as a way of increasing market share.

They pushed the employer mandate as a way of getting even more customers.

And they wrote the rules guaranteeing that if, even after all that they still couldn't make a profit, we would pick up the tab.

Well we got a prodigal son here now.

I suggest we take the maximum advantage of this. That we admonish them for their foolishness, but right now forgiving them is better than knuckling under to full Obamacare.

How convinient for Blue Cross Blue Shield to blame it all on the Republicans.

That is the point Republicans should fight back on. But we all know they won’t.
