WORKERS WORLD’S TOP TEN

Reasons why the U.S, ruling class doesn’t want a health care plan

Published Sep 3, 2009 10:26 PM

1. It doesn’t like anything with the word “care” in it.

2. If Congress passed a comprehensive health care plan, the people might actually expect comprehensive

health care.

3. Rich people already have excellent health care, so, like, what’s all the commotion about?

4. Kickbacks to Congress might be politically difficult and even more

expensive.

5. Who will get all that money now spent on “administration”?

6. Who would you rather have making medical decisions, some government “bureaucrat” or the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed executives at Aetna Inc., CIGNA Corp. and WelPoint, Inc.?

7. A single payer plan isn’t nearly as good as a 250,000,000-payer plan.

8. Pharmaceuticals may have to settle for making megamillions in profits instead of its customary megabillions.

9. Medical insurance companies will have to find other, more creative ways of bilking the public, like selling real estate securities.

10. The government may increase spending on wasteful and counterproductive things like preventative care. The ruling class prefers “health care” customers.
