THREE things I stridently OPPOSE that are, (Except for the Medicare Advantage corporate welfare, which is to be phased-out) as of this moment contained in the Senate health care bill: 1) All the Medicare Advantage Corporate Welfare (hundreds of Billions of dollars in direct taxpayer subsidy to private insurance companies, when measured just over the first decade's time span) needs to be stricken. 2) The insurance industry's anti-trust exemption needs to be KILLED. (Nothing should be exempted from Anti-Trust law. Monopolies and Oligopolies KILL free market Capitalism.) 3) The ban on drug imports is a violation of free market principles. It is a 'protected ring fence' around our market that serves to maxemize drug company profits. It is (or should be) an illegal restraint of trade, and an illegal restriction on the economic activities of American citizens and companies.
