socialist capitalism.....

where's my damn veto pen......

Lamar Alexander is yet another embarrassment to the good people of my home state of TN. I hope Bannon gets on his ass as well.

A couple of things...

(A) There is not much difference in this and a city, state, or other government entity giving tax breaks to a company for coming to their area as an employer.

(B) If government is going to be involved in insurance, which they are with the ACA, and they direct companies to reduce the charges for people, and people, and that reduction goes below the ability for the company to break even on the people, then you would expect that the government would need to make the companies whole for what they would lose.

This is the part of the left that is truly scary. He supports Trump's policy to allow small businessmen to pool efforts on insurance but gets boycotted simply because of Trump.

It is an effort to neuter the 1st amendment and political freedom through economics. It fits into their pattern of brown-shirt activities.
