Pelosi Criticizes Insurance Companies

If any company or persons, like Insurance Companies, Bankers, Doctors, or Automobile Corporation Executives (to give a few examples) dare to be profit-minded, or gain too much riches or power, they are automatically greedy, unethical, and immoral, according to the Left.

However, if you are a Democratic Politician trying to nationalize America with government-run programs, which in turn will solidify the power of the politicians in place, that is perfectly fine, and moral.

The loss of liberty to the American People is a necessary piece of collateral damage, according to the leftists. No big deal. Uncle Sam, or should that be Uncle Barry, taking control of everything is for your own good . . . or at least that is what the Democrats say.

Anyone opposing the Liberals are the bad guys. Immoral villains, you could say (or in my case, a crazy rightwing extremist).

In fact, the following is what Nancy Pelosi had to say about how the unethical insurance companies are working to kill the plan to create a government-run health plan:

"It's almost immoral what they are doing. Of course they've been immoral all along in how they have treated the people that they insure. They are the villains. They have been part of the problem in a major way. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening."

I am not saying that the insurance companies are a bunch of angels. And I truly believe that insurance companies are a large part of the problem. Putting anyone between the patient and the provider is a bad idea. But rather than attack the insurance companies, why don't the Democrats address the real problem: Trial Lawyers?

Instead of creating a massive government-run system that wreaks of Marxism, how about Tort Reform instead, which would ensure that frivolous lawsuits suing the doctors for even hiccuping wrong would come to an end?

The answer, my friends, is not because the Democrats wish to improve health care. The answer is that the Democrats wish to replace those immoral, unethical, power hungry insurance companies with themselves, so that they can be the immoral, unethical, power hungry controllers of the American People.
