No Profit In Kids

I still have no answers from the Kentucky Delegation on where they stand on HB 676 that would provide health insurance for all Americans.

But there was this piece of news in the Herald-Leader:

“Humana Inc. reported yesterday that its second-quarter profit more than doubled from a year ago on the strength of improved cost controls and sharply higher income from its government business……

Michael B. McCallister, Humana's president and chief executive officer, called it "probably the best quarter we've had" since he became the company's CEO in 2000. He said it was the result of "virtually every line of business doing better," noting improvements in the commercial segment and a dramatic expansion of its Medicare business.”

It’s good to know they doubled their profits because they certainly need protection.

From the Washington Post:

President Bush has attacked the proposals as big-government attempts to enlarge the federal role in health care, saying they would siphon choice away from individuals and reduce private insurance coverage for some children.

This is just plain shameful.
