Obama health czar served on several health care company boards

President Barack Obama's White House health care czar earned at least $2.3 million working for health care companies in 2008 and early 2009, including several that lobby in Washington.

Yet ANOTHER lobbyist in this Administration???

I thought Obama said he WOULD NOT hire people like DeParle...
Oh - that was during the campaign...NEVER MIND!!

[Concerned for Medicare]

MedCo might be "saving money" on pharmaceuticals by denying claims, but they are destroying our health care industry and costing FAR more in other areas!

The are costing doctors offices, hospitals and pharmacies countless dollars in processing their over-rides for necessary medications and costing patients money having to go to ERs to get medication while their doctors offices , hospitals, etc. are having to process mountains of paperwork to justify a patient's need for their medication.

MedCo is managed care at its worst!

It's no wonder the feds filed lawsuits against them,and I'm sure we can expect more of the same to follow.

They might save some insurance companies some money, but they are bankrupting the Medicare system, costing patients, doctors, hospitals and ultimately taxpayers tons of money and perhaps even patients' lives.

The CEO and board members should be in prison IMHO!

You'd think all these conflict of interests would have been hashed out during the confirmation hearings in the Senate. Oh, wait, czars don't go through any confirmation hearings.

What was I thinking?

Did Obama just make a chimp our new Surgeon General?

[Looking Out For America]

Obama is building up his SHADOW GOVERNMENT so
that HE will have total control of the UNITED
STATES. His real agenda is to destroy our
countrys' economy, weaken our military, and destroy the national security of our country leaving us vunerable for another terrorist attack and possibly an invasion from Iran or another hostile country that despises americans.
Obama will also destroy the will of EVERY patriotic, hardworking american so much, that
he will be able to create a REPRESSIVE REGIME
that he will rule with an iron fist. Any
american who opposes Obama "will be dealt with".
It's happening already, remember that report that
he had Napolitano put out? Calling those americans
and OTHERS who don't agree with his policies, and
american veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan right wing extremists. Never mind
that the TEA PARTIES were peaceful, and not violent like the protests that the leftwing kooks like to hold.
finally, Obama needs to be called out about
his 1981 trip to PAKISTAN(hostile nation at the
time). AMERICAN citizens were not allowed to
travel there by order of the U.S. STATE DEPT.
OBAMA either used a British passport or an
Indonesian passport. We the people need to
stop this FOREIGNER from destroying our
country any further, and hope that the damage
that this ILLEGAL ALIEN did could be reversed.

Going to have to go to OfficeMax and get more waiver forms.

Reading things like this makes me think Obama's approval rating should be 0%, but it's not. What the heck is wrong with Americans? Those in support of Obama just didn't like Bush because ABC News told them not to, and cannot oppose Obama because then they will admit to being wrong the entire time when people labeled Obama as a Socialist.

[First World Citizen]

It doesn't matter what Obama's intentions are.

Look at Africa... you see the leadership of blacks and those animals produce results? You put a gorilla in the White House and you think we'll carry on and be civilized like Switzerland?

LMFAO Blacks are chimps and have been for thousands of years.

Also,
SHE is Obamas' personal physician. My, my sounds
like Obama is playing favorites.
Also heard today that OBAMA is under scrutiny from some members of the senate, because he keeps appointing "CZARS." At last count he was up to 32. At first congress and the senate (DEMOCRATS)
didn't give it much thought, until it was pointed
out that the "CZARS" were a way for Obama to get
around the U.S. CONSTITUTION, and that they will
eventually be powerless. So, Obama put on hold
naming "CZARS" 33,34 and 35. These "CZARS" are
subject to approval by the senate, just like
the other cabinet positions in the Obama
administration. Obama CLEARLY VIOLATED article 2
of the U.S. CONSTITUTION that does not give the
president power to "CREATE" cabinet positions
without senate approval first. There is also
legislation in the works, to cut off money to
these "CZARS". The salaries of these "CZARS"
is over $100,000.00 per "CZAR" and we have 9.5
million americans out of work. I guess this
was what OBAMA/BIDEN were talking about when they
said that they created jobs.
