Beware of Health Industry Profiteers Bearing Gifts

[My comments in brackets.] The Associated Press reports tonight: "Industry reps offer $2 TRILLION in health savings." [Geez, that's a lot of money to give up... They must really be making a bundle.]

The leaked report says: "Top representatives of the health care industry plan to offer $2 trillion in cost reductions over 10 years in a bid to help pass President Barack Obama's health overhaul [yeah, right] a source familiar with the negotiations said Sunday." [I can't imagine who is leaking this information?]

"In a rare move before the administration has unveiled all the details of its proposal, the industry groups are trying to strike a deal now with Obama officials to help get coverage for all Americans [and who's going to make money on that?] in the hopes they can stave off legislation that would restrict their profitability in future years." [Something stinks around here.]
