Tops Reasons for Anger against new Healthcare Reform Law:

Anger is about:


1. Bailouts of FIRE economy of which Health Insurance industry is one of those.

Although the original intentions of the bill may have been noble, the "sausage" making turned the bill into a Health Insurance industry bailout bill by enslaving Americans to be permanent customers of the industry.

2. Not reforming costs in system. Rewarding entities that fell to reduce costs.

HII (Health Insurance Industry) rewarded for not reducing costs by having government compel individuals to buy health insurance from private companies.

3. More onerous than Bank bailouts because money was printed via the federal reserve for bank bailouts. Money comes directly from individuals for HII bailout.

4. See "reform", as currently signed, as increasing costs, not reducing them. Many rational people see that you cannot increase benefits without improving efficiencies in the system. Only token actions to increase efficiencies are in the law.

5. A large section of the lower middle class will receive greatly subsidized healthcare. The greatest burden of this benefit falls upon the middle class (just above the subsidized group). These people reason correctly that there costs will go up. At race to the bottom may ensue. The have a legitimate concern that may very well be poorer as a result of this law.

6. Individual Mandates justified on the basis of saving a failing industry. Could you imagine justifying slavery in the 1860s based on saving the cotton industry?


Anger is NOT ABOUT:

1. Government Healthcare - This false perception is created by the Health insurance industry and lobbyists.

2. Health Care Reform in general. Many wanted to see STRONG cost reduction / efficiency mechanisms. Empower the PURCHASING CONSUMER, not the insurance companies.
