Having worked for a time in the medicaid fraud unit of a government agency I can tell you that the government already does reward employees who try to bump people off the government health care dole.


um.....

"fraud"

hello?



How the hell do you equate the shenanigans being done in the article with your job of weeding out the people who are abusing the system???

Geez.

Let me guess,... if we wouldn't have Medicaid in the 1st place then there wouldn't be people out there trying to abuse it. Right?

Hey, man, that company deserves the medal of freedom. All of the policies they cancelled were probably those of poor people who just would have leeched off of welfare and social security if they had lived any way. Just think of all of those courageous shareholders who got richer becaus of these deals; they are fuelling our economy right now! Look at the stock market! As everyone knows, when the rich get richer, the numbers go up, which is good for everybody! And to think, we still tax these amazing people who hold up our entire society. If they pay less in taxes, they get to spend more money on yachts! Again, good for everybody! Besides, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone in the lower 2/3rds income levels is a fraudulent crook, I'm sure this poor company wouldn't have to cancel their policies anyway. As long as you remain healthy, you can continue to pay them money for their service that you'll never need unless you become unhealthy, which is entirely your fault anyway. Only in America are we afforded this freedom. Did you know that in Canada and England, you have to wait hours for your health care? Here, we tell you pretty quickly whether or not your credt card has been declined, so you don't have to wait to find out if you'll be treated or not. That's alot less stress. As long as we don't socialize medicine, the terrorists don't win!


Did I miss any talking points on this? I just skimmed the memo...
