SEN Al Franken said the government doesn't ration health care. The government let's the private sector ration health care. He said they do a great job of rationing health care by cutting off your insurance when you get sick and not giving you insurance if you have pre-existing conditions.
Franken says our current premums go to profit, marketing, CEO pay and wasteful administrative costs and all this was legal under the republicans. The health care bill will make it illegal.

Why not focus on Goverment Waste Illegal, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they just got raises, and a bonus. Social Securtiy, bankrupt, Medicare going bankrupt, Post Office going bankrupt, tax dollars supporting fraud and goverment waste.

Don't misunderstand - I think Al Franken is fantastic - he's doing great things in the Senate and I'm full of admiration and respect for him. But debate on health care is over, at least for now, so this is not news.

Al Franken a Senator is funny, this is what it has come too in our senate. Harry Ried, Al Franken, Chris Dodd, Dick Durbin, now that is some leader ship. lol. Now we have the jokers telling us how to live our lives.
Elections have consequences. Hopefully Americans will wake up after this disaster.

He so right on just telling the truth. 10% of your premium goes to health care the other 90% lines the pockets of the insurance execs. Thats ugly no matter how you look at it. It's time to hold them accountable. Go Big Al.

#4 - Tue Dec 29, 2009 9:00 AM ESTAl Franken, a good senator, you guys have a pretty low bar for a senator. The only thing this health Care Bill will provide to people is higher premiums, w/ more mandates, limiting customers the free will to choose their insurance products. It hurts the customer and tax payors, the insurance companies will still make money. The bill does nothing to reform health care, if you believe it does, I have some ocean front property in Arizona, I need to sell you and Al Franken. lol.
