Saul Alinsky-Founded Group Gets $56 Million Obamacare Loan To Start Health Insurance Co-Op…

From one community organizer to another.

(JSOnline) — Common Ground, a coalition of religious groups and other organizations, has been awarded a $56.4 million federal loan to start a nonprofit health insurer that would be run by its members.

The money is part of $3.8 billion included federal health care reform to help start nonprofit health insurers, similar to cooperatives, to compete in the market for individuals and small businesses.

The loans are to help the nonprofit health insurers – referred to as CO-OPs, for Consumer Operated and Oriented Plans – with start-up costs and to meet requirements that insurers maintain minimum reserves to pay claims.

The loans for start-up costs must be repaid in 5 years and the loans for reserves in 15 years.

Common Ground, which also includes some unions and a few small businesses, is the Milwaukee affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation, founded in 1940 by Saul Alinsky, a well-known community organizer. The organization, based in Chicago, bills itself as the oldest and largest community organizing network.

    About a year and a half from now, Common Ground’s press releases will all begin the same way: “We failed to anticipate…” and just like that, the money will be gone for good.

    Remember that Saul Alinsky’s book, “Rules For Radicals” was dedicated to Lucifer. Yes, THAT Lucifer. The first radical that went against his leader.

    Guess Obama and the democrats are in good company!

    I predict this will go brankrupt b-4 the 3 years. Insurance is still insurance, there is no such thing as non-profit healthcare without bad care and rationing.
    And people who are the members running this will have the rest of members pissed off as coverage gets less and worse.

    An injunction must be filed to stop the spending for everything related to Obamacare. This fool is killing us! he law is illegal! All the States that signed on must file for an IMMEDIATE INJUNCTION to stop all spending!!!!

    Solyndra, GM, the screwed Bond Holders, Shovel ready jobs, Cash for Clunkers, Green Energy losses, Planned parenthood, Acorn….and on and on!

    unreal-you are right!! funneling the money right into their pockets!! They are ALL involved.

    Sounds good, right, Alinsky connection aside. But if anybody on Planet Earth thinks there is ANYthing NON-profit about this they need to be put out to pasture immediately. They already made a profit of $50+ Million just by having it handed to them, and there isn’t any way in hell that money is going to be paid back before Solyndra and GM pay theirs.

    And what lovely parting gifts do we have for tonight’s wealth redistribution contestants, Jay?
    Why, first they get $50 Mill of taxpayer money, and THEN they get their debt forgiven.

    LOVELY.

    take notes and be prepared to be an individual.. when the chance arises

    now is the time to learn how it is to live under soviet rule and still be a thorn..

    you will have to set aside your absolute morality normally reserved for a moral and religious (CHRISTIAN) society..

    You gotta do what you gotta do..

    Consent of the governed is still a core principle of our society. It works like this: if you don’t have it, you get no authority from it.

    Hey Jude…11
    Big Ego / Smarter than God…disregard the Way…Cain
    Big Money / Paid Advocate…disrespect the Truth…Balaam – Num 31:6
    Big Power / Gang organizer…destroy the Life (even their own)…Korah (nic)

    Jude 11…Woe unto them! for they have run riotiously in the way of Cain, and have abandoned themselves for the sake of gain (it offers them, following) the error of Balaam, and have perished in rebellion (like that) of Korah

    Anybody want to bet that the gutless worthless Boner will probably sign the damn check to them so he will get another round of golf with BO. What a useless puke Boner has become.
