America’s Largest Health Care Company Tells Supreme Court That Anti-Obamacare Argument Is “Absurd”

America’s Largest Health Care Company Tells Supreme Court That Anti-Obamacare Argument Is “Absurd”:

If getting rid of Obamacare is such a good idea, why isn’t corporate America getting behind King v. Burwell, the Supreme Court case designed to demolish the Affordable Care Act?

Why? Because the government forcing everyone in the country to buy their product is better for business than actually having to do what it takes to earn ours.

  • "libertarian think tanks, pro-life organizations, Christian legal shops, and some conservative Republican legislators."
    ah-ha! the fringe.

  • Anyone who thought you could get more coverage for less money (or even maintain the same coverage on a long term basis) isa fool. Oopsie! Did I say that out loud?

    • Gee, do you mean it was written to favor their profits?
      NAH! It can't be!

      {edit}
      If you want to old up someone as a greedy corporation, look no further than anyone in cahoots with Obama, GE, Comcast, Anthem, etc.
      It's not the oil companies, it's all political

  • SO...one of the businesses that is hugely profiting from the monopolies that have come about with ObamaCare thinks the subsidies should stay in place (despite the plain, unambiguous language in the law), because some folks are not using the ER as much and some women are now getting mammograms. Go figure. Let's conveniently ignore the promise of lower premiums, keeping your doctor, and overall cost of the program.

  • Follow da cash....The Goobermint pays these health care companies, basically it is bribery to play nice with Obamadeathcare or else. Does not matter to these companies just how crappy the healthcare is or how limited. What matters is the CEO's salary and bonus. If a few million of us die beacuse of death panels, the government and these health care companies don't give a shit, you get sick, you basically like rotten fruit, into the garbage you go. Plus a bunch of people who get free shit, now get subsidized healthcare while the rest of us have to pay for it. Redistribution of my money to healthcare companies....

    • Of course they love this. They are getting tons of cash from us plebes, and they don't have to pay out! It makes good economic sense for them, lots of income, no outlay, means tons of profit!
      What they forget is that now that they are making tons of money, Obama is going to tax them much more! It all comes down to what Obama can do to take away the discretionary funds from everyone.
