Obama is the Evil Insurance Company CEO He Rails Against

Obama is the Evil Insurance Company CEO He Rails Against: "RUSH: We just played the sound bites of Obama ripping into the insurance companies for arbitrarily raising rates. Arbitrarily raising rates is the last place arbitrarily rates go up in the insurance industry. That's the last place. The insurance company actuarial figures are the most comprehensive statistics kept in any industry for any reason. There's nothing arbitrary about it. But what's Obama ever done to lower anybody's costs? How much have your taxes gone up since the Democrats controlled Congress? How much has the deficit gone up since Obama was elected? How much has home ownership gone down? How much has unemployment gone up? And now he's going to use all this magic on health care. Let me tell you what this assault on the insurance companies is all about, and this is an important first step. They have to destroy the insurance companies, especially since there's no public option in the Senate bill. And make no mistake, the public option is what they all want. And the Senate doesn't have it in their bill because they couldn't get 60 votes with it in there, and especially now with Scott Brown having been elected. So how they going to get there, then? Because what I told you the last hour is true.

If the House passes the Senate bill, that's ball game, there is not going to be reconciliation. There isn't time. But there's no intention to be a reconciliation anyway. You people in the House, you Democrats who don't like what's in the Senate bill, you better be prepared to live with it and for a long time. Obama signs it after you guys vote for it in the House, and that's the last anybody's going to be talking about health care for the rest of this year. Then you guys lose the House and the Republicans take over in January and you're not going to get anything you want added to it. So what you're going to have to hope for is that Obama's plan in the Senate destroys private insurance. That's the only way you're going to get a public option, the only way. And of course the express purpose of the Senate bill is to destroy private insurance. That's the only way they can get to single payer with the government being the payer. See, there's a fine. If you don't have insurance, there's a fine. And the most the fine is is $5,000 a year. And that's for the very rich."
