The parent company, WellPoint, made nearly 3 Billion Dollars in profit! I hope you read that correctly. And now why exactly do they need to raise their premiums by 25 to 39%? <br />Clearly Gary the plight of people who can barely live and eat, let alone afford insurance, doesn't matter to you. The plight of small business owners who won't be able to afford their own health care doesn't matter to you. Why don't we just forget the poor people for a moment and allow these companies to charge whatever they want. What will be the end result? Many people are not going to get health care. That doesn't bother you, but it bothers me. If that makes me a Marxist, I hate to think of what they makes you. If the goverment can regulate the price of food then the government can regulate the price of health care. <br />And Gary--please point out to me where Obama is trying to destroy the Constitution. Or maybe you forgot that that was the topic!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149591289204807405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-3100483184157382602010-02-18T17:50:39.730-08:002010-02-18T17:50:39.730-08:00Kevin,

You seem to have no problem with unions that control what jobs people can have, academics that control the politics taught on campus, unions that keep students in lousy schools, organizations that want to base college admissions on race, a government that wants to declare the very air we exhale as a pollutant and all of the associated energy, but you resent a health insurance company 3% profit because government regulation and the trial lawyers have made it so expensive. Yep, you have the "California Marxist" tude down great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11769241624759010694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-66883261809764789572010-02-17T20:54:27.465-08:002010-02-17T20:54:27.465-08:00Hi Christine,
You stated "Your Marxist belief...Hi Christine,<br />You stated "Your Marxist beliefs are meant to destroy our most cherished Documents, like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence." If that is true, then why don't these Marxist Communist Socialists just take over the government and declare these documents dead? Why doesn't Obama declare himself a dictator? I would think with all of his 'cronies' in power, they would have an easy time of it. <br /><br />Your author states : "There some people have been induced to give up not only their freedom but even their lives, in order to strike a blow against those they have been taught to hate." Weren't the American people induced into giving up some of our rights under Bush after 9/11? Didn't he send over 100,000 troops to give up their lives to strike at people Bush hated? Bush called Iraq, Iran and North Korea the Axis of Evil. This directed some Americans to hate these countries. The U.S. is not that much different...<br /><br />I also don't have to be 'taught' to resent insurance companies--have you heard about the latest increase of 25 to 39% in premiums for people who pay for their own health insurance? I don't know about you, but I can't see how small business owners and other individuals making a measly amount can pay for that. To dislike a company that controls people's health like that is pretty easy, if you ask me.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149591289204807405noreply@blogger.com
