fork in the road
i Will start out with a comparison. to leave well enough alone is what these insurance giants should be asking themselves or should have thought of before they agreed to a sixty five million dollar contract. with huge perks for one person. profits vs. stability. for example. the auto industry. enjoyed high profits for years. the auto industry swam in huge profits with very little overhead. producing merchandise that would require expensive repair cost well before there foreign competitors.( there down fall.) the world rejected the skillfully engineered, high profiting junk equipment they were pumping out. Mr George Will is it wise for America to " leave well enough alone "? our heath insurance industry in on a path that will ultimately need a bail out as well. it is of my opinion that this bail out will be titled differently. maybe a restructure. could it be operation revamp. this health issue is very different than the auto collapse / bailout. the merchandise is now the human life. i would advise the health reform critics to carefully choose the correct path at the fork in this road. for the American tax payer is who runs this country. not your board members and CEO's. as tolerance levels grow thin with bail outs we ( tax payers ) will not allow greed to dictate our well being. can we imagine a corporate mandated pay cap. let us start making heath care cost cuts from within. we will create options for health insurance and this issue will be closed. let this be a lesson to corporate America. we have had enough of greed! i will end with a quote that baffles me to this day. "whats in your wallet ? "
