YES!!!

Robert Reich wants the health care trusts busted up, and I am in agreement. Bust 'em apart now!

California's Anthem Blue Cross has been in the news lately, with its giant increases in premiums for those who are individual policy holders. Folks who are members of group policies aren't seeing much in the way of increased prices.

The insurance companies claim that too many healthy people are no longer buying policies during the economic downturn and that the companies need the higher revenue. The truth is that they are afraid an Obama-plan might limit their profitability. Reich points out that while the rest of the country is suffering economically, health insurance companies are raking in profits hand over fist. They get away with it because they are protected monopolies.

Hey! Even the post office has competition. Bust up these vampires now!
