    And The Hits Just Keep On Coming!

    Imagine for a moment that you have somehow navigated Wall Street's murder of the global economy with your life insurance policy intact - a lot of people haven't, so it's a good exercise. So let's say you're sitting on a nice $1 million whole life policy. You might not have a roof over your head, but at least your family is taken care of if you should die.
     
    Until you get sick.
     
    But have no fear! Along comes Wall Street again, riding to your rescue. They offer you $400,000 for your policy - on the condition that when you die, they get to cash in. In fact, the faster you die, the more money they make.
     
    If this ghoulish scenario sounds too vile to be true, then you have really underestimated those Wall Street bankers. Because that's exactly what they are doing. I kid you not, They have stolen everything else, and now they want to profit from your deaths. In fact, the only real threat to their nefarious plan is health care reform.
     
    Read the article. If you can read the entire thing without vomiting, you will be outraged.

    Yeah that was my thought exactly. I mean he's *technically* right. Nobody is holding a gun to their heads, forcing them to sell. But you and I both know the reality on the ground is that the people this will target are the elderly and those without decent healthcare who happen to have the misfortune of becoming ill. You know, the people who don't really have any other choice.

    10 to 1 odds the guy that made this comment on the link has never been seriously ill, and most likely works on Wall Street.
