Often they simply steal their money, using bribery with elected and non-elected officials to move the laws in a direction that directly benefits their company. Obamacare is a major example, but hardly stands alone. HMSA is proposing a 49% increase in Hawaii for next year. Contrary to popular belief and liberal amounts of hopium ingested, most Dems(and even Reps) did not understand that there is NO CAP on annual rate increases. The two main goal of Obummercare are: 1. Forcing every American to pay outrageous fees for insurance 2. Raising rates so hight that most are forced into the bronze and silver high deductible plans and simply cannot afford to go to the doctor, thus reducing gov't payouts for medical care. added bonus: Obummercare is gutting medicare($700B) cut from medicare to service the black hole of Obummercare) Bankruptcy law for individuals is being skewed against the individual.

No longer dischargeable under BK: 2nd mortgage equity line student loans End result is a two party attack on the individual in order to turn the vast majority into debt slaves to the banksters.
