SHAME!
*** begin quote ***
Willfully disregarding all the bad press, and because they have to, Aetna released its earnings statement Thursday. They have made record profits by “higher premiums and reducing health care costs.” Translation: Making people pay more and providing them with less. BOO!
If you’re on Aetna and have another choice, this may be the time to leave.

Perhaps, your derision is misplaced? I think the villain in story is the actor off stage — the gooferment.
Remember the Wage and Price controls of WW2? No, I didn’t think so. They happened before I was born too. The Gooferment instituted wage and price controls to fool the people and make their war cheaper than it actually was. Now, they can’t repeal the laws of economics. Business want to attract and retain better people. Since they couldn’t pay more, the meme of “benefits” was created. And, the gooferement let them game the system and it was tax deductible. TO make it even worse, the “benefit” was deductible to the business but not the individual. Argh!
Fast forward, thru all the laws, regulations, and diktats that makes healthcare unaffordable. Who did that? The gooferment!
Now, the politicians of both parties — who are merely different sides of the same criminal class — offer to rescue us from the problem they created. And, we criticize everyone but who we should be excoriating. The gooferment, the politicians, and the bureaucrats.
What a mess!
