(President Trump: PUT UP OR SHUT UP - NOW! - CL)
Oh, and what's "enforcement action?" More fines? A monopolist simply passes those on to the customer.
Prison is the only answer, and prison is already provided for in the Statute so where is the commitment to use the available enforcement mechanism -- defined by a clear and unambiguous statement that either it all stops right now and never returns OR INDICTMENTS, all the way back to the limit of the Statute of Limitations, will be immediately forthcoming.
I'm tired of "all words, no acts" when it comes to health care and so is everyone else.
TIME IS UP ON THE THREATS; NOTHING LESS THAN INDICTMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Why?
Because in three years if you don't start prosecuting right now and thus make for a durable change in the economic picture for businesses and individuals you're going to lose the White House and you'll lose the House in less than two. Once you do the next President will instantly reverse your E/Os just like Biden did and you have twice (once for Obama and once for Biden.) But prison after conviction doesn't go away with the Presidential or Congressional change because rather than the whim of the Executive that is backed by the Acts of Congress.
And while you're at it here's the rest of the solution to the problem which I've had on the table for years and which also was featured (in less detail) in Leverage. The budget issues cannot be addressed without fixing all of the health care mess; it is not only the source of all the deficit spending problem it is also what makes US production uneconomic to a large degree even among "peer" nations such as with Canada.
If you expect America to prosper this all has to be stopped right here, right now and it has to be done in a way that cannot be easily reversed with the next Administration. Fortunately the means for you to do so already exists -- its called 15 USC Chapter 1 and violations, upon conviction if your administration brings the charges and demands the sentence, carry felony prison time.
I'm done with the waiting game and so are millions of other Americans -- no more 30 or 60 days, nor in six months, nor any more "trust the plan" bilgewater will be accepted.
Only acts, in this case felony criminal indictments under said 100+ year old law (15 USC Chapter 1) if all discriminatory pricing is not ended RIGHT NOW are acceptable.
The opportunity for true greatness that will shape American commerce, employment, family and economics for decades in a positive way is on the table -- but no other action than actual enforcement under criminal law will accomplish the goal, and if this announcement is unserious then its worse than nothing at all as it will be further abused and Americans who are on private health coverage, or with no coverage at all, will be the ones screwed.
