NOTE: I left competitiveness spelled incorrectly as it appears on the white house.gov web site, yes these are our leaders.


Government tool, Allan Hubbard, spoke at a event Thursday for the Center for American Progress Action Fund. He blamed patients for driving up health care costs because insurance insulated them from the real costs of treatment.

What a dumb ass! That's the frigging core purpose of insurance as far as patients are concerned, it's probably in every insurance companies mission statement for goodness sake. This is him listening to his buddies in the insurance industry whining about their overhead,. If you can call make grotesque profits of the illness of others overhead.


Hubbard crafted the health care plan unsuccessfully promoted by President Bush and subsequently embraced by GOP presumptive nominee Senator John McCain. It would eliminate incentives for employers to offer insurance, shifting the burden of health care costs onto individuals, who would be granted a tax break to buy insurance.


I am assuming that any one of his three successfully fertilized eggs walking around, ages 19, 17, and 17, were paid for by an insurance company.

I wonder if he went for the economy plan?


Here he is with a economy 50% off arm sling, I am sure he didn't get the caviar of health care, probably just set the break himself.
