Soshalizm and Health Care
More bad news for fat people:
A 4-month-old baby was denied health insurance because HE'S TOO FAT.
A 17-year old girl died after the CIGNA insurance company denied her a needed liver transplant. When her mother protested outside of the insurance company's building, employees flipped her off and mocked her. Another victory for U.S. health care.
And in the evil socialized country of Finland (a neighbor of Sweden) the government has cracked down on its citizens, making it a right to have high-speed internet access. They are starting with a 1Mb connection, and will try to up it to 100Mb by 2015. Socialism is so evil.
And Health Insurance companies are exempt from anti-trust laws. That means that they can act as monopolies by fixing prices and giving substandard service:
"Using their anti-trust exemption, insurance companies collude with health care providers to fix prices to the detriment of consumers. For example, a December, 2008 investigative report in the Boston Globe revealed that the state's largest insurer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, made a secret deal with the state's largest health care provider to fix prices and prevent lower prices being charged to other health insurance companies."
What? What happened to the wonders of the free market?
Health insurance needs at least these reforms:
1. No anti-trust exemption
2. No rescission (under the "thou shall not kill" clause)
3. No denying coverage to babies.
4. No flipping off mourning mothers.

Can you believe the justification of the FOX people after you follow that link about the 17 year-old?
