RUSH: And the companion story is this: "United Health Group's Third Quarter Profit Beats Estimates." This is how capitalism works in America under crony socialism. The people at United Health Group are making millions of dollars because of their cronyist association with Obama, and a little Tennessee school district has to close because it can't afford it. But a massive health insurer is increasing.
This is cronyism. This is not capitalism. These insurance companies have thrown in with Obama rather than face his wrath and oppose him as they would normally, naturally do on the basis of issues and ideas. No insurance company would get anywhere near this. Obama knows that. So he makes side deals with them guaranteeing them customers by this mandate. So the insurance company say, "Hell's bells, we can't lose, the government is making people buy our product." Except the cronyism leads to costs and expenses that a little school district here in Tennessee can't afford, so they shut down.
And there's a story today that a second similar situation has happened. And now two additional Obamacare co-ops have closed in two different states. Do you see anything about this on the news? That's what the news is supposed to tell you, stuff like this, but you won't see this on the news, but I've got it here. So enrollment increases are marginal, which means there's less and less money going into the system. The cronyism and the insurance companies with Obama, and it's not just insurance, hospitals, too, but it's not just health care; it's green energy and any number of companies like GE. There's all kinds of cronyism going on. They're all making out like bandits. And it's not capitalism. If anything, it's crony socialism, or crony fascism in a sense, maybe, but it certainly is not capitalism.
