HHS Sec: ObamaCare Will Reduce Pharmaceutical Profits by $90 Billion

Speaking with unhinged radical Dylan Ratigan on MSDNC, Obama's HHS Secretary ... Abortion Queen Kathleen Sebelius (whose powers are vastly expanded under ObamaCare)... brags that the legislation will result in companies that make life-saving drugs having their profits reduced by $90 Billion.

She pitches this as a benefit. Because corporate profits are bad. Profits represent excess value, according to Obama's favorite economic philosopher. The idea that higher profits enable companies to give more workers jobs never occurs to them.

Remind me again why people who think this administration are Marxists are supposed to be kooks?

These companies should all report losses and say they have nothing to pay taxes on.

That's another reason the IRS is hiring 16,000 more people.

If you will notice, many of the big Pharma companies have elaborate headquarters abroad......they might lose money in the US market temporarily, but they will find one that they can make money in......

All that will likely happen is a continued erosion of US jobs, particularly in high skill areas, like chemistry....

Now thats a point of view that not many people bring out but its dead on target.  Once they cut the throats of industry it will result in less tax dollars coming into the coffers.  I bet the CBO did not calculate any of that into their numbers LOL!

Apparently crack sales to aging moonbat women in DC are doing great.  The big pharma corps didn't sign onto this because they thought their profits would get raped, which one do you suppose is smarter about their projections, Sebelius or the entire pharma industry?

And lately I've been seeing non-stop AARP "insurance" commercials.  Yeah, no coincidence they supported the HC bill, right?

AARP long ago ceased being a seniors lobbying group.....they are just another liberal advocacy group like "Move On.org........and they receive revenue-sharing from United Health Care for the insurance that they peddle.....

If you question this.....just go look at their discussion forums......they would make DU proud....
