We can't have executives and stockholders making money!</p> <p>A tactic that will be used by Obama will be to regulate the private health insurers into unprofitability. When half the health insurers fail, a single federal health plan will be more palatable to the public. The federal government will prop up the totally mismanaged auto companies (with their greatly overpaid union workers), but will drive the health insurers out of business (who employ mostly non-union white collar workers). Does any see any favoratism? Oh, and who will be the biggest beneficiaries of a nationalized health system?: unionized federal employees.</p> But, wait!
