Dear Santa, Save Health Insurance Companies, Signed Ted
Don't look for Governor Ted Strickland to anytime soon endorse the Health Care for All Ohioans Act anytime during his administration.
Ted Strickland, controlled by coal and nuke lobbyists, also is a puppet when it comes to health care insurance lobbyists.
A Cleveland.com story which cites the following report: A Strickland spokeswoman said that the governor, a Democrat, thinks a government-run plan "should be affordable so it creates true competition without risking running health insurance companies out of business."
As long as Ted Strickland supports health care insurance companies, Low-income and working Ohioans will continue to see higher insurance rates. The Governor does not care about healthcare for all, just healthcare that allows his health care insurance lobbyists to continue to gouge the public with higher premiums and costs in the future.
And here I thought the whole Democratic Idea of health care reform was to lower premiums.......
So just what are the Democrats doing to us?
