Would you believe Americans are overcharged $10 Billion each year? As
of 2009, this figure is true and worse in 2011.
Audits of medical billing reveals in 2009 that 90% contain gross
overcharges. During the worst of the American Recession, health insurance
companies increased their profits by 56% in 2009. The years between 2000 and
2006 U.S. worker wages grew only 3.8% while Health Care Premiums increased 87%.
The five largest for-profit Health Insurance companies, employ top executives
who received almost $200 million in compensation in 2009. The same for-profit
Health Insurance companies have a combined profit of $12.2 Billion. More than
two-dozen (24) pharmaceutical companies made over $1 Billion in profits in 2008
alone. Americans spend about twice as much in Health Insurance than other
developed countries while receiving less quality and more drugs.
People are dying! Infants are dying! Where are our priorities? Yes,
jobs, economy, housing, war, poison dust effects upon our military and those in
Afghanistan/Iraq, environment, Corporate Personhood are all important topics.
Compare them to us, as a society, not only allowing but encouraging dying
infants!
Clearly, fourth President, and author of our Constitution, James
Madison, and second President, and Founding Father, John Adams, were correct.
Corporations are not people, rather the property of individuals and like all
corporations must be regulated.
"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse,
intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over
governments by controlling money and its issuance." -- President James
Madison
