Mandated health care insurance is government intervention. The Federal government doesn’t have that Constitutional authority.

Romney’s plan, endorsed by McWaters is failing in MA. And guess what? Premiums are higher for everyone.

Health insurance is not the same as car insurance. Completely different. A car is a lethal weapon. Unless you are Chuck Norris, your body is not.

There are other solutions besides government mandated purchases. It’s a portal for further government control of your life.

Vivian, thanks for posting the 7/27/07 Pilot editorial by McWaters.

Who is Jeff McWaters? An arrogant person who has denied coverage to pregnant women. Someone who was for Obamacare last week and is now suddenly against it.

Jeff McWaters is not to be trusted.

I seldom look at this site and the $215 was a typo. Are there reports in Illinois that would indicate that McWater’s name was on incriminating e-mails, which is why they were told to settle? Maybe this is also why he is no longer in charge?

In the Pilot he is said to that said “we don’t leave people to dies in the streets,” or something to that effect, but this is pretty much what he did in Illinois, This is slick self-serving political retoric from someone who denied health care to thousands of poor pregnant women in Illinois.

From the perspective of an insurance administrator, health care for all means more profits. But Virginia citizens do not need their medicaid diddled by someone in charge of a company that hurt pregnant women in another state. It is not exactly what Jesus would do, in my humble opinion.

Did you even read the post? Apparently not since a)your figure is wrong and b)I’ve already linked the exact same story.

[...] there is an issue that separates Wilson from her opponent, Jeff McWaters, it would be where they stand on health care. Wilson is quite clear in her belief, although I [...]

You certainly seem razzled and dazzled. You fail to mention the $215 Million lawsuit judgement against Amerigroup by the State of Illinois because Amerigroup denied medical converage to thousands of poor pregnant women in the State of Illinois. Go to records and newspaper reports in Illinois and do some investigating on this. Was McWaters implicated by viture of emails with his name on them? Could the claim of retirement be slick talk to account for being removed from Amerigroup by the board?

Do yuu really want someone who was involved with a company that denied medical coverage to poor and minority pregnant women to be in a state office?
