Pelosi Says Insurance Companies Are Immoral Villains

Well. It took a while, but the Queen of the House finally aimed the liberal cannons precisely where they think MOST of our countries problems come from: private enterprise. In this case, she says that private insurance companies are immoral villains and, of course, ARE the problem.

"They are the villains in this. They have been part of the problem in a major way," Pelosi said of the insurance industry after her weekly press conference. "It's almost immoral, what they are doing," she said, referring to industry lobbying against a public insurance plan option. "Of course, they've been immoral all along. They are doing everything in their power to stop a public option from happening, and the public has to know about it."

The current system works so well for insurers that they don't even want subsidies, Pelosi claimed. "They've had a good thing going for a long time at the expense of the American people and the health of our country," she said, adding that it will be tough to keep them from getting their way. "This is the fight of our lives."

Pelosi referred to the health insurance industry's campaign against reform -- specifically, the public option -- as "carpet bombing" and "shock and awe" during the press conference.

The amount of vitriol and biased viewpoints in this diatribe is stunning. Take, for example, this little gem:

“The current system works so well for insurers that they don't even want subsidies, Pelosi claimed.”

Isn’t that the way things are SUPPOSED to work? Is she really saying that a successful business should WANT to be bound to government decree by accepting subsidies? And that if they don’t, then they’re obviously exploiting consumers?

Hey, Pelosi’s doctor… if you’re listening, could you ramp down her meds a little? She’s clearly overdosing on SOMEthing.

For liberals, the villains are ALWAYS individuals and private enterprise. We’re the dragon, you see. And government is always St. George, riding in on a white charger to slay us and save the world. That’s their world-view. It’s twisted… but that’s it.
