Midknight Review -- new and revised: Note to insurance companies: If you sleep with the Devil, you will have hell to pay for your penitence.

Here are the opening comments in an article found at Bloomberg.com.

Allowing Americans more time to enroll for health coverage under Obamacare may raise premiums and cut into profits, insurers are telling members of Congress in a bid to stop such a move. Extending the enrollment period would have a “destabilizing effect on insurance markets,” said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the Washington-based lobbyist group American’s Health Insurance Plans. Allowing younger, healthy Americans to sign up later, as they probably would, means less revenue for insurers counting on those premiums to help defray the cost of sicker customers, threatening industry profits. “If you can enroll at any point in the year, then you can just wait until you get sick,” Brian Wright, an analyst with Monness Crespi Hardt in New York, said in a telephone interview. “This isn’t the industry crying foul and exaggerating the issue, this is actually one of those issues where there is a well-grounded reason for the concerns.”

My thinking? I could not care less for the grievances of those who have climbed in bed with Obama and his Socialist/Progressive regime. And to think that their chief complaint with extending the sign-up period is this: “If you can enroll at any point in the year, then you can just wait until you get sick,”

Excuse me, but ObamaCare was built on the premise that there should be no restrictions on pre-existing conditions, or is that a lie, also? If pre-existing conditions are no longer regulated or excluded, the healthy young can wait (and pay their fines) as long as they choose, before signing up. These [insurance] clowns did not see this coming ??????

Guess the Insurance Industry should have stood its ground back in the days when it made a difference, instead of caving in to a strategy they thought would preserve their bottom line.

Turns out, in due time, this industry will be history. Obama has already stuck the knockout punch. They - the insurance companies – are simply staggering around the ring before they fail complete defeat.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
