Comments on: REPORT: McCain Plan Doles Out $2 Billion In Tax Cuts For The Biggest Health Insurers http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/04/09/mccain-tax-health-insurers/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:01 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: john saarikko http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/04/09/mccain-tax-health-insurers/comment-page-1/#comment-624 john saarikko Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:21:08 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/wonkroom/2008/04/09/mccain-tax-health-insurers/#comment-624 Last night I was studying this pdf document in detail. It is form 10-K submitted to the SEC by UnitedHealthgroup. The info there is disgusting. The American people are getting ripped off big time - real big time. I am trying to simplify the info to add to my web site: http://www.universalhealthcareinfousa.com http://www.unitedhealthgroup.com/invest/2007/10-K_2007.pdf Its a 100 pages long but looking at the details leads one to drink. Yes Thor, the profits and the rate at which they are increasing way beyond inflation is disgusting. But the politicians that "we the people" have put in charge let it happen.

Maybe the poor really are dumb. Watch another round of deep south states go for Mcshame in the next election. Eventually the divide between rich and poor will bring about real change, history shows it usually does.

He does not know that health care has risen as fast as the profits these companies make and the egregious pay the CEO`s are making.Sen. McCain and his elist that are running his campaign have know idea what it is to be middle or working class americans in this country. He is so far removed from middle America he only knows what he hears, the sen. must not have a middle or working class base from which he could draw experiences from or he would know his plan does nothing for these people that are not in his ELITIST BASE. The man`s campaign is geared toward the wealthy and corpratist of this country. A vote for McCain is a vote for poverty for the middle and working class of America. This guy is out of his mind.

Even after taxes, health insurers are some of the most profitable entities on the planet. Does he truly, honestly believe that giving them more money will somehow, magically make insurance affordable (and usable) to American families? I can't even begin to fathom the tortured logic that would lead one to make that conclusion. What is that maniac thinking?
