(1,820 posts)another evil figure, Karen Ignagni, who lobbies Congress and bullies presidential administrations on behalf of AHIP, or America's Health Insurance Plans.
She represents the health insurance industry, the most obvious exponent of the medicine for profit as idea and practice.
When Bill Clinton was close to giving us national health insurance in 1992-3, Karen and her friends put together those Harry and Louise ads.
When Barack Obama gave her a say, she demanded the inclusion of the individual mandate.
And if she didn't get it, she'd discredit the government in the same way as before.
And her looks make her a perfect Disney witch as in Sleeping Beauty-- horned cap, snaky walk, slim figure and all!
She comes from the same part of the country as Tim McVeigh, but has much, much more blood on her hands.
