Corporate America and the insurance companies will make sure your private health insurance either gets to expensive or they will impose higher deductibles and out of pocket expenses so that you will have no choice but to get the government poison. I am already seeing this with our insurance. The company has now changed it to $4,000 family deductible and $6,000 out of pocket as opposed to a $250.00 deductible we had in 2005 rendering it pretty much useless and yet we are paying almost $400.00 a month for it!

Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, is quoted as warning two centuries ago:
“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an underground dictatorship. . . . The Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."

That time seems to have come, but the dictatorship we are facing is not the sort that Dr. Rush was apparently envisioning. It is not a dictatorship by medical doctors, who are as distressed by the proposed legislation as the squeezed middle class is. (For a withering analysis by an outraged M.D. of the nearly 2000 - page House bill, see here.) The new dictatorship is not by doctors but by Wall Street -- the FIRE (finance, insurance, and real estate) sector that now claims 40% of corporate profits.

Economist L. Randall Wray observes that ever since Congress threw out the Glass-Steagall Act separating commercial banking from investment banking, insurance and Wall Street finance have been “two peas in a pod.â€
