Private Insurers Kill Children

Death panels already exist, and they certainly are not government employees...

The Denver Post reports, "at least six major companies — including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana — have said they will stop writing new policies for individual children" in Colorado. The companies "blamed health reform mandates taking effect Thursday requiring companies that write such policies as of that date to also cover sick children up to age 19," the paper said.

Thank God (by which I mean Mammon) that everyone has to be covered by private [shyster] insurance before 2014, I'm sure that will work out really well...

Be ready to add more to the 17,000 dead children, thanks to private coverage (or lack thereof when you or your child actually get sick).

And in case you are one of those people who does not believe in “statistics,” here is some anecdotal, heart-wrenching, emotional stuff for you. And here. And here. And here.

  1. Also, I redid the title to the current format, without the extra space on top or the cutoff shadow at the bottom:

  2. Thank you. I thought I'd try it out for a while without anything but the blog title.

  3. Just let me know if you ever want to change it. I have the source file so I can change it pretty easily. I'm already not happy with the edit, which seems to not blend properly on top... *eye twitch*
