BigInsurance' Corruption and Fraud is
the same operation as the Wall Street
Fraud and Corruption.
*I* told the USDOJ that BigInsurance has
their own private, internal newsletters
and various standardized operations that
they perform on certain classes of people
(deploying psychiatrists to say we're
imaginating diseases, and then deploying
the likes of the Child Protective Services
to bag whistleblowers), and then Wendell
Potter confirmed it. They also control
diseases (definitions, treatments).
They *SAID* they were going to "control all
of US Medicine." They *PUBLISHED* THAT!
John J. Kaiser-Permanente Connolly *said* that.
He put in in writing.
These are some pretty big names:

AIG, Zuckerman, Anthony Walmart, Gleacher
LLC, Armstrong Holdings, Philip Morris,
Nestle, ...
... "AMERICAN EXPRESS" ...
I don't know. Think "Risk," "Free Money,"
and the "Federal Reserve's Secrecy," and
what do you get?
A bailout of a pig-out and America
in a health-status and Medicine shambles.
And the USDOJ running around like petty-ass
fools, chasing 3 druggies and a gun and
calling that organized crime. And the
HomeLames terrorizing 8 year olds and
old ladies in the airports. And the cops
tasering babies, because they're all
bootstrapped, janked up Terminator-
wannabees. And the dykey-mos in the
prisons runnin around with their uniforms
tucked in their BOOTS (in the summer) callin
a code and a 3-day lock-down over some
unarmed lady who spit...
It's organized crime and racketeering.
We already have the legislation for it.

What Massachusetts Got Right
by Robert Scheer
The president got creamed in Massachusetts. No amount of blaming this
disastrous outcome on the weaknesses of the local Democratic candidate
or her Republican opponent's strengths can gainsay that fact. Obama's
opportunistic search for win-win solutions to our health care concerns
and our larger economic problems is leading to a lose-lose outcome for
the president and the country.
The two issues that mattered on Election Day were the economy, which
Obama has sold out to Wall Street-as quite a few disgruntled voters
pointed out-and his plea to save health care reform, which the voters
who had backed him for the presidency with a huge majority now
spurned. It is significant that it was the voters of Massachusetts who
have now derailed the Democrats' efforts to revamp the country's
health care system by denying them the necessary 60th vote in the
Senate, for these voters know the subject well.
The federal proposal is based on their own state's model requiring
people to obtain health insurance without the state doing anything to
effectively control costs through an alternative to the private
insurance corporations. Lacking a public option, the cost of health
care in Massachusetts, already the highest in the nation at the time
of the plan's implementation, has spiraled upward. Services have been
curtailed, and many, particularly younger people, feel they are being
forced to sacrifice to pay for a system that doesn't work.
Instead of blindly following the failed Massachusetts model, Obama
should have insisted on an extension of the Medicare program to all
who are willing to pay for it. He squandered the opportunity to bring
about meaningful health care change that the public would have
supported had it been kept simple and just. Instead, Obama gave away
the store to medical profiteers. They, in turn, hopelessly muddied the
waters with well-funded scare advertising tactics that principled
leadership on Obama's part could have thwarted.
A mere seven months ago, The New York Times/ CBS poll found that 72%
of Americans "supported a government-administered insurance plan-
something like Medicare for those under 65-that would compete for
customers with private insurers." Even half of those identified as
Republican said they would back such a public plan, as would three out
of four independents and 90% of Democrats. Instead of heeding that
call by endorsing a serious extension of Medicare, along with
increased subsidies for those who could not afford it, Obama played to
the conservatives in Congress-and they rolled him.
If he wasn't prepared to make a breakthrough in health care, and that
meant a reform program that would begin sooner rather than later, he
should have put it on a back burner. The furor over a very
unsatisfactory plan drew attention from the far bigger crisis
concerning the meltdown of the nation's economy. By accepting and
indeed expanding the Bush administration's strategy of throwing money
at Wall Street, Obama ceded the populist label to the Tea Party
Republicans who now pretend that a banking mess brought about by their
radical deregulatory philosophy is not of their making.
It is the economy, stupid, and the sooner Obama grasps that, the
better for his and the nation's prospects. A new Wall Street Journal/
NBC poll finds that "Americans ranked job creation and economic growth
as their clear top priority for the federal government, well above
national security and deficit reduction. Health care, Mr. Obama's top
domestic priority in 2009, now ranks fourth, closely trailing the
deficit and government spending."
Of course, the public is right. In the midst of the worst economic
crisis in 70 years, why waste enormous political capital battling to
pass a health care plan that is modeled on a proven failure in
Massachusetts, as voters there clearly registered? Meanwhile, the
president has dropped the ball in the effort to make bankers act
responsibly by forcing them to forego outrageous bonuses and help
homeowners stay in their homes.
Again quoting the message of that Wall Street Journal/NBC poll: "The
president's focus on health care amid heightened job concerns could be
hurting his ratings. At the one-year mark of his presidency, 35% of
Americans said they were ‘quite' or extremely' confident he had the
right priorities to improve the economy, down from 46% at midyear."
The Journal noted that a majority disapproved of the government's
response to the financial crisis, adding, "The related problem for Mr.
Obama is the public's lingering anger about the bailouts of 2008 and
2009, which helped boost bank profits even as unemployment grew-a
toxic political problem."
To salvage his presidency, Obama must reverse course and make solving
the "toxic political problem" of Wall Street greed that's bankrupting
the country his highest priority.
