Romney's $700 Billion Bail-Out for Health Insurance Companies

Romney promises to add $700 billion to medicare costs, which will force medicare into insolvency within four years.

That $700 billion goes entirely to insurance companies, hospitals and doctors.

Not one penny of the $700 billion goes to benefits.

It is a government give-away to corporations that bankrupts Medicare.


And why isn't this the lead story every night? Because it is so appalling that people cannot imagine that it is true. I is so shocking that factual reporting of Romney's position would be so damaging as to somehow constitute unfair bias against Romney... it would be outrageous to suggest that anyone could conceive of something as malignant as what Romney has specifically and repeatedly promised to do.
