TRUTH !!
Is the health insurance business a racket? Yes, literally. And this is why
the shameless pandering to robber baron corporations posing as “health
providers” is such an egregious … and obvious … tactic to do nothing more
than plump up insurance company profits.
And do you know who’s to blame? Believe it or not, the downfall of the
American health insurance system falls squarely on the shoulders of former
President Richard M. Nixon.
In 1973, Nixon did a personal favor for his friend and campaign financier,
Edgar Kaiser, then president and chairman of Kaiser-Permanente. Nixon
signed into law, the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, in which
medical insurance agencies, hospitals, clinics and even doctors, could begin
functioning as for-profit business entities instead of the service
organizations they were intended to be. And which insurance company got the
first taste of federal subsidies to implement HMOA73 … *gasp* … why, it was
Kaiser-Permanente! What are the odds?
