Doctors working for health insurers can rule on 10,000 or more requests for care a year. At least a dozen were hired by major insurance companies after being disciplined by state medical boards or making multiple or outsized malpractice payments.

      If democrats knew what they were doing communication wise and weren’t complicit, they’d use this language of ‘corporate death panels’. But of course, if you criticise the insurance industry you criticise Obamacare, and Obamacare is perfect.

        obamacare is a conservative love letter to the health insurance companies.

        if it werent for the pre-existing conditions clause we would have gotten nothing.

        obama was a complete failure as a democrat… but a spot on republican.

          The thing is, because Democrats are the ones that passed it, other democrats can’t criticise it from the left any more either. They’re stuck defending it against Republican attacks (based on mostly bullshit, they don’t have a competing plan).
