Comment: America was the idea that ordinary, free people could make their own decisions & live their own lives, without needing a handful of self-appointed “betters” to tell them what to do. Obamacare is the opposite theory and, as such, completely un-American.
“Aetna Chief Executive Mark Bertolini said U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell called him Feb. 1 shortly after he made critical remarks during an earnings conference call. Before then, Aetna had struck a more upbeat tone compared to some rival insurers.”
““The secretary called me that evening at home to say, ‘What happened?’” Bertolini said in an interview with Kaiser Health News. “Well, I told her you need to read the whole (earnings transcript), which she did and she calmed down. We like the program and we think it’s an appropriate effort. But we do need to make changes.””
