Medical Insurance Multi-Millionaires: A Reprise

The Congress is supposed to be thinking (??) about monitoring or controlling this banditry. I have a strong suspicion congresspersons are benefiting from these scallywags pilfering.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I posted the original article on Salem-News.com, Medical Insurance Multi-Millionaires in a Multi-Billion Dollar Boondoggle, on August 23, 2009. I was sooo far off about the money grabbing proclivities of these Jesse James – type bandits that I am profoundly embarrassed. I figured these gonifs were only high-grading maybe a few million dollars each for their rainy-day expenses. Then I hear on TV news that in each of the ten biggest medical insurance money factories that the C.E.O.’s were “stealing” more than $10 million per year. How about the lesser bandits?? The precise figure wasn’t given but 10 million bucks will buy a lot of chopped liver and the caviar and champagne that goes with it. Another bit of concurrent news was that their financial golden parachutes when they leave these money-making machines goes into hundreds of millions of dollars and maybe even a billion dollars. That is a lot of chopped liver, caviar and champagne. I hope I am wrong about this but if anybody has the scoop please let your congressperson know what these highway robbers are doing with billion dollar bail-outs of the likes of this Madof – type criminal. This all gives a more concise meaning to the term FILTHY RICH. These guys are just covered in cow potty. The Congress is supposed to be thinking (??) about monitoring or controlling this banditry. I have a strong suspicion congresspersons are benefiting from these scallywags pilfering. Will somebody please email me that what I have heard and read about above are not true and that these rapacious rascals are only STEALING a few million dollars?!? I CAN’T EVEN CONCEIVE WHAT A MILLION BUCKS LOOKS LIKE! ********************************************************** Dr. Phillip Leveque has degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology and minors in physiology and biochemistry.
