The Health and Human Services secretary just bragged to the
Democratic convention that under ObamneyCare, private health insurance
companies are now required to spend at least half of every dollar you pay in
premiums on actual health care or else they send you a refund check. “This is
what change looks like,” she intoned.
So an insurance company can still spend as much as 50 cents
of every dollar you are now compelled by law to give them on themselves and
their stockholders and we’re supposed to believe that this is some sort of
revolutionary advancement?
That the Democrats feel the need to brag about setting the
bar so ridiculously low really only highlights the need of a real progressive political option.
