Here is a contrast: the Congress passed a $15 billion jobs bill that could charitably be called pathetic–it *might* create a couple of hundred thousands new jobs, when we need almost 11 million jobs just to get back to pre-crisis levels. On the other hand, any health care reform bill that seems like it might squeak through would hand the insurance industry tens of billions of dollars in new profits from all the people who will now be forced to buy insurance at insurance industry price–this is the industry that has bankrupted people and business all over the nation.
Is there something wrong with this picture?
