Comments on: Money paid Congress Members by health insurance industry http://www.nyegateway.com/2009/08/money-paid-congress-members-by-health-insurance-industry.html Political commentary/genealogical interests Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:43:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Featheriver http://www.nyegateway.com/2009/08/money-paid-congress-members-by-health-insurance-industry.html#comment-2669 Featheriver Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:22:10 +0000 http://www.nyegateway.com/2009/08/money-paid-congress-members-by-health-insurance-industry.html#comment-2669 I agree with you on your comment that too much money is being pumped into Congress. You are also right, I think, that no law will end it, nor is Congress necessarily interested in ending it. The only solution I can think of is to remove those in Congress that is taking all that money and providing representation to those that provide it. The only way I know of to remove those offensive people is to vote them out of office at their next election. With respect to health care reform the only sensible solution I can think of is to institute "Medicare for all" and let the insurance industry make it or fail on their own.

No law will effectively change that because Congress will not give up that source of funds. As for 'health care reform', the public option was DOA - perhaps just a straw man to take flack from the real evil: the mandate. If a mandate is passed and signed, we'll soon find ourselves filling out forms to prove to the IRS that we are 'contributing' a sufficient percentage of our income to the very insurance industry that is supposed to be the 'bad guys' who necessitated 'health care reform'.

There is simply far too much money being pumped into Congress from corporate special interest lobbyists. Yes, it is depressing.
