Ed Miliband Wins Labour Leadership Contest In UK
virtuoso:
That's factually incorrect since the law basically demands that every person have health insurance, which is going to benefit the insurance companies, not harm them.
This is a good article on it http://libcom.org/news/health-care-refrom-insurance-lobbys-triumph-19042010
And if the government requires everybody to get coverage — just what the overhaul legislation calls for — it could guarantee a steady stream of customers subsidized by taxpayers not only for insurers, but for all medical providers.

The insurance companies have been lobbying hard for this, if you don't believe those 2 articles, then keep looking, sure you can find many more.
As for Ed Milliband, the banks have killed this country, killed America, own our asses, unless something decisive is done there, then an increase in minimum wage aint gonna do shit, as prices rocket.
Fuck all of these out for themselves politicians.

I'm not talking about that law. The recent federal health care law allows states to approve different health care laws of their own, as long as they cover everyone and reduce costs. There has been a bill called SB 810 which was passed three times through California's legislature to create a single-payer system similar to Medicare but for everyone that Schwarzenegger vetoed. If Jerry Brown wins it'll pass.
The recent healthcare law has provisions in it where if the state does single-payer the insurance mandate is no longer required in that state.
The nature of the American system allows states significant autonomy so this is not a surprise. You probably don't know, but California is the strictest insurance state and our legislature can't stand them.

its like i've said on other forums, ed isn't a saviour or a revolutionary or anything like that, he's a centrist generic politician wit a few good policy's that isn't as controlled by the system as much as the other candidates that were either from the blarite school of thought or from the brownite school of thinking because of there policy's, you get what i'm saying, ed's not old labour but most importantly he isn't new labour either, so i can stragetically vote for him to turf out the tory's who are even worser than new labour, if ed was in power now and he raised the miminum wage to like £6.50 or £7 then i could get a job in mc'd's today and get off these stupid stagnating benefits, you get what i'm saying and start saving a slush fund for my real estate ventures in the future, so raising miminum wage to a level that you can pay your rent and bills and put food on the table and have a life, isn't sumthin to belittled fam, its a good look and i'm sure it would get a whole heap of people into work and cut unemployment drastically, trust me on that
