Yep force them to sell at a loss until they go broke, bail them out and wallah, government owned and run pharmacies. These folks are not only a hell of a lot smarter and devious then I gave them credit for but they are moving at warp speed. Even if R's get another chance at the plate this shit will be so embedded how do you possibly unravel it?

My Congresscritter posted this on FB: Cathy McMorris Rodgers Never has a Congress worked so hard to pass something that is so unpopular and that is going to be so destructive for America. This was an interesting post in the comment section: Joseph Stout My earlier comment to Congressman Hill: ~ Congressman Hill, I read your note. As I was reading it, I thought "this sounds good". And it does. I have been on both sides of the desk, when it comes to insurance companies. I have been an the one with the policy, working for an employer, that got laid-off, because of the claim that I would have had, filing a claim with the insurance company. It would have raised the rates of the insurance premiums to the company that I was working for. And I have worked for an insurance company, selling plans to employers, as well as individuals. Insurance company's are dealing with risks. If the stakes are too high, then they drop it. Plan and simple. They are in the business of making a profit, just as K-Mart, or Wal-Mart, or GM, is in the business of making a profit. K-Mart, Wal-Mart, GM, or any other company, is not going to walk into a loosing situation. GM, had been in the process of dumping car brands that it considers as creating a loss. So, what is going to happen? If K-Mart, or Wal-Mart, is forced to sell a product in their stores that they consider a looser, then they are going to make it worth their while to shelf the item. Because "shelf space" costs. I know. I used to work for a vender, selling our items in grocery stores. They give us a shelf space, and if the items don't pay for that shelf space, they have other venders that feel that they can make it worth while to the grocer.... See More The same with GM. What if the government forced them(selves) to keep, and market those car brands? GM, would make it worth their while, to have to make, house, and sell those brands. The insurance companies will be no different. If they see an insurer with a MUCH HIGHER RISK, you better believe, they will make it worth their while, to cover the risk. Someone is going to have to pay [a pretty penny] to cover that risk.
