Obama is simply attempting to build a bigger government headed by him that mandates and controls what he wants-----socialism and ultimately the big C. To attack Blue Cross is like attacking motherhood and apple pie. How many people on medicare were denied treatment-----how many were shunted to medical treatments that didn't work because of the medicare protocols? Let's hear some Medicare horror stories. I get Consumer Reports----their research is to be respected imo mj "In addition to these consumer friendly numbers, a survey in Consumer Reports this month reported that Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama ranked second nationally in customer satisfaction among 41 preferred provider organization health plans. The insurer's apparent efficiency may explain its dominance, as opposed to a lack of competition—especially since there are no obvious barriers to entry or expansion in Alabama faced by large national health insurers such as United Healthcare and Aetna. Responsible reform requires careful analysis of the underlying causes of problems in health insurance and informed debate over the benefits and costs of targeted remedies. The president's continued demonization of private health insurance in pursuit of his broad agenda of government expansion is inconsistent with that objective." In Conclusion: Obama really does have a case of foot and mouth disease---"open mouth insert foot". mj
