Obama Trade Deal Secrecy Insulting, According To Key Democrat
Sunday, June 10, 2012
I did a little research on Max Baucus and Billy Tarzing and leaked memos, etc. I found that it was about WH agreement with pharmaceutical industry that they would contribute 80 billion in lower costs in exchange for not having gov't bargain for lower drug prices, and agreeing to not import drugs from Canada. The article said nothing about single payer plan.
================================
Do some more research and you'll learn that the White House's agreement wasn't solely involving the pharmaceutical industry, but also the insurance industry, hospitals and the AMA. And the insurance industry not only wrote ACA, but also regulates it within the government.
Sweet deal, ain't it? Almost as sweet as a president both selling insurance policies (to the American people on behalf of the insurance industry) and buying them (from the insurance industry on behalf of the American people). What Obama has done is sell (and buy) insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies using Americans' money. Over-priced, lousy insurance policies, at that. That's a pretty neat trick, btw, to sell and buy. It's like playing chess with yourself. And having insurance doesn't mean getting healthcare. BIG DIFFERENCE.
