Obama Trade Deal Secrecy Insulting, According To Key Democrat

There is no mechanism in ACA for lowering the costs of treatment.

On Countdown with Keith Olbermann, whistleblower Wendell Potter talks with Lawrence O'Donnell about where the con game (medical loss ratio, the amount of money insurers must spend on health care) is in the legislation, and how it will enable insurance companies to continue to price gauge and keep obscene profits instead of delivering affordable and quality medical care to policy-holders.

Obama put the foxes in charge of this chicken coop (former WellPoint executives Liz Fowler and Steve Larsen) to write both the legislation and the regulations, and enforce the regulations.  

Fowler's most notable actions to date has been issuing waivers to businesses that don't want to have to provide insurance to their employees.  So much for Candidate Obama's pledge on restricting lobbyists from writing our laws.  

Obama's healthcare legislation prohibits the very thing that was the top issue in the 2008 election:  The government being able to negotiate lower drug prices or reimportation.
