If Liz were Queen

QUEEN’S COMMENTS:  I could just vomit in pure disgust every time I read yet another comment such as the following one– from Huffington Post:

“. . .President Barack Obama on Monday portrayed the health care industry’s promise to cut $2 trillion in costs over 10 years as “a watershed event” in the long search for a solution to the millions of uninsured. . .”

First of all: consider the source before you start heaping praises on these greedy bastards. These are the same people who over the past 8 years have gouged the bj out of the American people.    Health insurance premiums have doubled in the past 8 years  rising 3.7 times faster than wages in the past 8 years.  In addition to doubling their fees, they have reduced their benefits.  Now many of them have ridiculous deductibles and only a limited number of doctor visits–thus exposing the Americans who still can afford insurance to almost the same unlimited financial liability that the 47 million uninsured face.

We are supposed to thank Obama and his hedge fund democrats for securing a promise from this bunch?  A promise, which even if it IS kept, will have such a meger financial impact on our lives that it can be compared to a gnat’s bite on an Elephant’s ass?

The Obama Administration can couch this in their political terms of ‘trillions of dollars’ but what this “promise” LITERALLY amounts to for the ordinary American is that  MAYBE in five years we can look forward to paying $650 less in heathcare expenses annually.  And, as I mentioned previously, $650 is not even a spit in the wind when an ordinary American is staring a $100,000 medical bill in the face.

OBAMA AND HIS MULTIMILLIONAIRE STAFF ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A HELLUA LOT BETTER THAN THIS IF HE WANTS TO HAVE A SECOND TERM.

HARDLY “A WATERSHED” EVENT

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT THESE PEOPLE TO PASS THEIR SAVINGS ONTO ORDINARY AMERICANS?

HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED THAT “TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS” WORKS ONLY FOR THE RICH AND THEIR CORPORATE WHORES?
