Billionaires Rally Against Health Care Reform

Insurance Industry Billionaires Protest Rockland Group Advocating Socialist Health Insurance Reforms

Nyack, NY – Billionaires for Wealthcare, a for-profit citizens action group of wealthy Insurance company owners and board members, will rally in protest against a socialist “Healthcare for All” rally at Nyack Memorial Park on Sunday, October 4, 2009 from 4:30 PM until they become weary.

They will denounce attempts by Congress to provide lower cost health insurance at the expense of insurance and BigPharma industry profits. “I’m sick of the government interfering with my business and profits just because some silly members of Congress – like Engel, Hall, Lowey, Gillibrand and Schumer – think all Americans should have reasonably priced health care,” said Ms. Meg A. Bucks, Chairperson and CEO of the organization, “Everybody knows rationed healthcare makes for a highly motivated workforce.”

The group will be demonstrating in support of the dedicated efforts of the Republicans in Congress from our region (if only there were any) to protect health insurance profits. “Nobody is more effective than our Republican nay-sayers, er, representatives – and we have too few! – at implementing our strategy for convincing people to take a stand against their own best interest,” remarked R. S. Tocrat, President and CEO of PBP (Profits Before People) Health Insurance Co.

Asked about the plight of the poor and the strain put on working families by rising health care premiums, Ms. Bucks shot back with some social justice rhetoric of her own. “We billionaires are a tiny minority of the population. Democrats like Engel, Hall, Lowey, Gillibrand and Schumer never take our values into consideration. We must stick together and stand up for what we believe in, namely BIG PROFITS. I’m confident that if we can get our people into Congress we will eventually prevail.”

She continued, “But try as we might, we just haven’t been able to purchase any of the Congressional representatives in this region. We need sensible voices in Congress that know the value of money….our money.”

Insurance industry profits have been soaring in recent years, growing much faster than the economy overall. The rapid increase in health care premiums has put enormous pressure on American families. Over 44,000 Americans lose health insurance every day. “It’s been a good ride so far”, Tocrat said. “America has the most profitable health care system in the world. That’s something we should all be proud of. Many have yet to realize that health care is a privilege for the privileged. Make no mistake, this is a class war, and we intend to win it.”
