Two things popped into my little mind this week and the first involves the grand old party and their stated intention of not allowing anything the opposition party wants to do happen. Especially the lawfully elected president. So once again the GOP is trying to stop affordable health care or in newspeak Obamacare, by threatening to defund the government if the opposition party doesn’t agree to defund affordable health care. Funny thing this threat. Predictably prices on the national stock markets are going to drop while this foolishness goes on. If a private person or a non-government company did this sort of thing it would be a violation of securities regulations and laws. But when congress does it, fiddling with the stock market becomes another way to pay back valued friends and campaign donors.
Then again, here in New Hampshire Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield had rolled out their affordable health care plans and made it quite clear that there will be health insurance for people buying affordable care and better health insurance for people who can pay more. Concord Hospital in concord, NH has flat out said that they aren’t going to drop their profit margin. The person speaking used flowery language to try and cover up the facts but that’s what I heard. Along with Concord Hospital is not going to provide care for people using affordable care insurance policies.
