Absolutely Not..... By God!

     A today's New York Times article about Insurance Premium Rebates compelled by the Infamous ACA/ Obamacare Law made me think about the young ideologue dude who wants to be the Missouri Attorney General.  He's the tough talking TV Candidate that is long on courage and short on explanation...

 Here is an excerpt from the Times article: 

     Insurance Rebates Seen as Selling Point for Health Law By ABBY GOODNOUGH New York Times  Published: July 30, 2012.  The law requires insurers to give out annual rebates by Aug. 1, starting this year, if less than 80 percent of the premium dollars they collect go toward medical care.
As a result, insurers will pay out $1.1 billion this year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, with an average rebate of $151 per household.

      I trust that our "Conserative Candidate" will not welcome this news. His one plank platform seems to be "defeat obamacare"; for reasons that, I suspect, are less grounded in Macro-Economics Theory and Actuarial Analysis, and more grounded in his acquired passion to win the approval of his parents and their friends.... yes, to please that retiring generation who, of course, have exactly no idea about how to optimize Health Care Access in the 21st century.  What these aging "respected ones" do know is that it has always been prudent to oppose distributions to anyone less affluent than one's self. In the short run it preserves wealth and in the long run it insulates one's children from competition....long live Darwin!  Unless, shhh!, this "naturalselection/survival of the fittest -APP" is "far from optimal" when run on a post-modern/ instant feedback network (the planet), where secrecy is unachievable and brute force is unstoppable.

     But, what the hell, I don't care if the Insurance Companies keep ripping me off.  I don't want their rebate.  It is "tainted money" offered as a clandestine Communist conspiracy and, BY GOD, I will resist until I am dragged from my lien free land by Chinese Bill Collectors.  I know it's irrational, but it just feels right...Dad will be so proud!
