Tyler Cowen reviews new book on insurance by Amy Finkelstein, et. al.
Don’t read Amy Frankenstein’s FAKE News Book on Obamacare and health insurance Market. Didn’t mention Centene, the Nation’s LARGEST Medicaid scamming company with winning the award for BEST STOCK on the S & P 500 in 2018! YUP, a welfare company and Medicaid is at $1 Trillion a year now! Beat Medicare there but give Medicare another year. Obama made Centene, United Health Care, and all of the Monopoly Blue Cross Association, stocks explode to the MOON! Holy tamales, Batman! Is Blue Cross a GIANT bloodsucking Monopoly in IOWA, where you have to go to become President. The City of Ames is selling Blue Cross of IOWA to city employees for $28,380 per year for family coverage. That’s $6,000 more per family per year or a whopping $500 a month extra! National average is over $22,000. IT’S INSANE! IN CONTRAST, Republican’s Trump’s STM is in Iowa Ames for a 30-year-old couple and 2 kids for $329 a month! Plus, the MAYO Clinic, the World’s BEST Hospital, is close and a participating provider in the Aetna Open Choice PPO that the STM utilizes. MD Anderson Cancer Hospital is also in network so from now on – here is a rule John – we say high-quality and low-cost STM because that is MORE descriptive and accurate. These numbers above are FRESH! Get out your slide rule, the one you used for economics. Saving $24,000 per year per family and Iowa State University (ISU), also is overpaying Monopoly Blue Cross, and ISU has 9000 employees!
I asked ISU ECON PhD Peter OREZEM years ago to analyze the numbers and he said he can’t because his peers would hate him and GRANT MONEY would dry up! So ISU wastes billions to Iowa Blue Cross.
Yes, Iowa Blue Cross MONOPOLY has the cites, the county employee’s, Ames School District, The University, the State of Iowa employees and 80% market share of the State’s Individual Medical (IM) population, one of 2 companies in Obamacare and to top it off, Blue Cross is selling (NON-INSURANCE) that is not regulated by the Insurance Commissioner with Medical Underwriting, declining people with pre-existing conditions and it doesn’t cover self-employed people while they are awake, like Iowa Farmers, because on the job illnesses and accidents are excluded, no kidding. It’s NOT insurance so how can farmers deduct the (PROMISE) or you can call it “The Plan”?? Who will agree with me that we have an overpriced MONOPOLY problem?
Centene stock was $7 in 2012 and today it is at $90 – Medicaid turns ordinary Joes like the Molina brothers into billionaires and children into caskets. Hillary’s CHIP is “State Sponsored Gynecide.” I say let the PARENTS, who love their children, choose their insurance and not the state. Because the state will drop the ball like they always do. Milton Friedman says if we put the Federal Government in charge of the Sahara Desert in 5 year we would have a sand shortage. They just can’t do it. Martin Armstrong says, “Government is incapable of running a gumball machine properly.” Government is in the PROTECTION RACKET for Blue Cross!
