Obama’s stated goal is single payer healthcare…period. Everything else is just incremental steps towards this goal. How the big players in the insurance industry don’t see this amazes me.

The Obama administration and the insurance companies have different goals and motivations. While Obama has been working with insurance companies behind the scenes to implement and push propaganda in favor of Obamacare, he uses his rhetoric to demonize the insurance companies. Obama will eventually turn on them in actions as well as rhetoric because his goal is the destruction of the health insurance industry. He is counting on people hating them so much that he can get away with any actions against them. This hinges on people blaming insurance companies more than the government for what happens under the new system.

The insurance company’s are colluding with the administration / government. Who is driving it, the company’s or the government?
You tell me, they are one and the same walking this thing right past our own eyes, in broad day light.

They are making a lot of money. People earning up to $45k get subsidies from the government. Subsidies which go directly to insurance companies. Despite Obama’s anti-insurance company rhetoric, he has a mutually beneficial relationship with them because they are major donors.

With the out of pocket cap so high, most people will never see their insurer pay out in any given year. A person with a bronze plan will spend $9k before insurance picks up the cost of treatment.
