Aetna throws a tantrum…

Well…if you are anything like me, you are tired of the entitled asses that run corporations in this country who think that they should be able to do whatever they want without any oversight by anyone…the latest of these entitled corporations is Aetna insurance who, over the past few days have said they are pulling out of the ACA exchanges for some unclear reason that they won’t share with anyone…but it can’t be that it’s unprofitable with their profits up 38% in the past year and their market cap doubling since they joined the exchanges…nope the curious thing about this whole affair is that this action follows the refusal of the Justice department to approve another merger, citing the fact that the merger would create monopoly power for Aetna and allow them to control pricing in the healthcare market. So, in a tantrum that will hurt thousands of Americans, Aetna is trying to hurt the Obama administration and force them into approving the merger by causing pain for the exchanges…now, not sure how you feel about this, but I think that this action by Aetna just shows that they are already too powerful and if given the merger, the first thing they would do is use their new power to line the pockets of the 1%’ers at the expense of the rest of us. So, I applaud the justice department and the Obama administration for striking back for the little guy…and Aetna can just go to hell…geez…
