7:19 pm
and lies. lou: i want to raise the issue. greg, no one is talking about the insurance companies, health care providers in league with this administration. choice future profit models at risk with obamacare model, itself. this is a very uncomfortable if you will, alliance as far as i'm concerned your thoughts. >> that could be an interesting short for investor if the white house caves in does the incandescent. that is greatly de-- inevitable that is grittily delay sign period and penalty, and maybe tries to come up with a scheme people can keep their plans issue as this unravels, but one few losers will be, the insurance companies. lou: i think president obama will subsidize the insurance companies. but you hit the nail on the head, where are the shareholders of these insurance companies, i would be demanding answers from
