                            October 1, 2025Stop the Health Insurers' Raid on the Treasury By Stephen Moore
        No one likes insurance companies -- trying to get them to pay a claim is like wrenching a bone out of a dog's clenched teeth -- and now we have another reason to hold them in low regard. The biggest advocate for blowing another $1 trillion hole in the federal budget is the health insurance lobby.
        The giant insurance companies -- including UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Humana are leading what Capitol Hill sources describe as "an unprecedented lobbying blitz to restore hundreds of billions in taxpayer-funded Obamacare and Medicare Advantage subsidies."
