"Why Health Insurance Shareholders Are Loving Obamacare"

[Nuclear Unicorn]

10. Weird. I was shouted down as a RW paid troll hack for saying as much during the debate.

This was wholly predictable. In fact, it was impossible for there to be any other outcome. There's even a slush fund to pad profits during transitions such as plans being deprecated for lack of mandated coverages and employer implementation.

If the government plan relies on for-profit corporations then the government finds itself protecting corporate profits, even if the corporate model is a net loser. Taxpayer money must then be shunted to the profit line -- protecting the corporation from the consequences of its misjudgments (assuming no avarice *giggle*). There is no incentive to correct the bad model and for all we know the tax-shunting pols are stockholders.

Anybody saying anything differently is either too naïve or outright diabolic.

One day they'll learn to listen to the cynical and world-weary 20-something young woman.
