Obama to Make Enemies Among Insurance Companies
Obama has not been shy about attacking the insurance companies for being instrumental in the current health care and economic crisis. One of the biggest issues he has addressed is the Medicare system, and the fact that insurance companies use Medicare Advantage plans and the like to make a profit while offering nothing better than one would receive directly from the government. Insurance companies claim to make Medicare more accessible and user friendly through their Advantage plans, but Obama claims that they are a complete waste of tax payer dollars and are driving the government to bankruptcy for no reason other than to make insurance companies a profit. As Obama continues to attack insurance companies for greed and waste, how much will they be willing to work with him in creating reform?
