Common Sense: 8/21

" Finally leaving aside the delicious irony of a Rockefeller calling anyone on the carpet for making too much money but senator Jay Rockefeller wants to now. What those greedy -- insurance companies are doing with their premium -- just the second. So now it's not only angry congressman going after them now they done got a Rockefeller attacked. It all leave you always had. I just think he's fallen into the trap of assuming all healthcare insurance chief executives of bad net. Trust me I -- of these guys as someone who seems to collect serious diseases I've dealt with my fair share of preexisting hassles and refuse treatment. Summing saints but let me tell you always doubles I mean that would be like saying all TV anchors are idiots. All right scratch that but but remember this. If we apply this same generic bias to races that we do to certain industries would rightly be dragged into court. But since congress sees itself as the court it really can play judge jury and executioner. And who do you think they're executing now. Not those great villains of yesteryear the ninety's bad guys the drug companies and lonely old aren't going along this time with congress has reform that's. But this year's villains that health insurance companies who are not. I don't care how you really feel about these companies know more than I do about oil companies' CEOs when -- before congress. By these keystone cops released kangaroo courts. But you see a pattern here. Just once just once I would like a hearing where the questioners -- questioned the boilers are grilled and the pro -- are themselves pro. Ideally by very sharp cold metal devices but I digress today that would be. That would be balanced but that would not be Washington would -- Rockefeller can cast aspersions on an industry -- well. And clueless congressman can deflect your own ineptitude by going after that well. So forget what really insurance can do for us for got sick is there any insurance to protect us. From then."
