Troubled Iowa insurer CoOportunity Health may be liquidated

2. The Blame, Guess!

Gee, funding got cut somehow. WELCOME TO THE HIGH AND DRY CLUB! Now WHO could possibly be behind a bill that cut funds for these Coops. Read this....."Consumers may have not heard much about co-ops as an option, because opposition from the insurance industry forced the government to offer loans instead of grants to the co-ops, and to forbid co-ops from using any loan money to market their businesses." (Neat trick, legislate that the competition CAN'T MARKET THEIR PRODUCT!)

SO, PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES with the help from SOMEBODY in government, are undermining Coops. What are Health Coops....."The co-ops have been created by consumer groups, doctors, membership associations — such as for small businesses — and other non-profit organizations". Ah, yes....PRIVATE INDUSTRY trying to choke out a CONSUMER/MEMBER OWNED COOP, using friends in high places to kill the COMPETITION.

Get the picture? But most people won't and will blame Obama for this INSTEAD.
