ASSOCIATED PRESS: Fact-Check: Health Insurer Profits Not So Fat. “Quick quiz: What do these enterprises have in common? Farm and construction machinery, Tupperware, the railroads, Hershey sweets, Yum food brands and Yahoo? Answer: They’re all more profitable than the health insurance industry. In the health care debate, Democrats and their allies have gone after insurance companies as rapacious profiteers making ‘immoral’ and ‘obscene’ returns while ‘the bodies pile up.’ Ledgers tell a different reality.”

It’s like they’re just telling a bunch of lies to justify a power-grab or something.
