'Waxman is also demanding that the executives give lawmakers internal company documents related to health care finances'
I missed the Supreme Soviet announcing commissar Waxman's promotion.
(Must have been been on pMSNBC.)
10 bucks says the higher ups at these companies mostly voted Obama.
Hard to feel sorry for them.
Are corporations supposed to pretend that these costs do not exist? This is very strange business, scolding executives for stating the obvious. Is everyone supposed to pretend really, really hard that there really is a halo around Obama’s head and that rainbows and unicorns are everywhere?
When’s the Reichstag fire and the Enabling Acts?
Only in the public sector could such a slug as Henry Waxman have the balls to demand anything of anyone, except their preference for paper or plastic.
I’m starting to get a sense this is going to go very, very badly for the Democrats. Worse than anyone has expected.
There was a lot of genuine wishing for a better future behind the moderates who voted for Obama, and that fantasy could have been sustained a long while longer with judicious politics.
Instead, the Democrats forced through a “win” that’s about to hit the brick wall of reality very hard.
Then the fantasy is gone, and the people who believed in it will be angry. Those are the people the Democrats need to win elections.
They may lose a lot more in November than anyone has been anticipating.
Hitler battled the communists and won, so private property was allowed, although controlled, operated as Hitler desired (Speer ran industry). If corporations like fascistic operational style because of its efficiency and ownership features, a marxist regime will reject their desires and simply nationalize them, especially if they do not appreciate govt. policies and mandates.
Managed care (the term originated there) originated in the thirties under Italian fascism for the industries in Northern Italy, the region that built their Navy, one-at-a time military aircraft, and military armaments and automobiles, etc...the Italian healthcare system was designed by the corporations for their benefit and approved by Mussolini. Managed care was quasi-governmental. Obamacare is for the current administrations’ benefit, period.
The Obama administration may threaten nationalization of corporations objecting to Obamacare. An epic struggle for the survival of private property is at hand, both industrially and with commercial/private property. Property rights are the first thing protected in our Constitution..the justification of the country was to protect property rights. Fannie and Freddie now are fully governmental and the taxpayer has all liabilities. We are being charged for the very marxism being imposed on us. Everything is up for grabs, apparently, and the govt. is doing most of the grabbing and consigning the rest to our creditors (China given eminent domain as collateralization of US equities).
That pig nosed freak doesn't have the authority to demand anything. They should spit in his eye and say no to anything he "demands".
Yes, they are becoming more totalitarian by the day.
I hope Drudge puts that headline, at least, in red near the top if not front-and-center with a siren.
Waxman..he’s the feculent, little pig faced man..

There’s also a facebook page called.....
“Henry Waxman’s Nose”
Mr Waxman may I introduce you to the Law of Unintended Consequences?
If I were Cat, John Deere, or any other manufacturing firm, I’d be looking at closing down my US operations. This government simply isn’t business-friendly.
Even the Rats aren’t normally this stupid.
What we’re watching is blind panic.
Nope. They’re the consequences of elections.
Perhaps I can interest you in serious debate about the merits, credentials and credibility of John McCain and Sarah Palin? I warn you that such serious debate may cause 3/4 of your audience to become banned from discussion; that’s o.k. in a politically free society.
Except this is NEITHER a politically free society, NOR a politically conservative society. It is the “FreeRepublic” sonservative blog - hosted by JimRob - society sort of thing.
The rest is smoke & mirrors.
I seem to recall that after Medicaid or Medicare (I get them mixed up) was passed, LBJ told private insurance companies to stop accepting people because he wanted the program to work.
History does truly repeat itself.
Your papers please:demanding that the executives give lawmakers internal company documents related to health care finances,or we will take over your business.Oh gee I wonder what the dictatorship would do to the internet?.
We can just NOT stand for this kind of bullying people. Democrats thinking they are going to just dictate and run roughshod over America have got another thing coming!!!!!!!
They have chosen this path for a reason...
