The chairman of Comcast endorsed the Senate health care bill in a letter Thursday to President Barack Obama, saying, "We cannot allow perfection to stand in the way of critically needed and very good legislation."

"While there has been much controversy and debate over hundreds of provisions and alternatives, it is my view that the current legislation pending in the Senate provides a workable framework for this country to take an important step toward enhancing health care accessibility, promoting operational efficiencies and technological innovation, and reducing the cost of health care and the federal deficit," CEO and Chairman Brian Roberts wrote.

Roberts said he intended to make his statement in person Thursday at the White House jobs summit but could not make it because of his company's $30 billion merger announcement with NBC Universal.

Of course he’ll endorse it. He can dump insurance on the government at some point.

Eventually, they’ll be broken up like AT&T was.

It will serve them right.

I believe CEOs like this are just as much an enemy of the people as avowed one-world socialists like Soros

There is one very significant difference.

CEO like this can only profit from corruption in Government, Government is dangerous with, or without, these sorts of CEOs.

CEO's like this do not have the ability to lawfully deprive you of Life or Liberty or the Pursuit of Happiness.

Government does.
