Having an honest opposing viewpoint is not unAmerican and is not a reason to boycott an American company. It is however a reason to boycott an ONLINE Political bag of unAmerican activity like the Progressive Review…just don’t go there!

I have never shopped at WHOLE FOODS, yet I’m going start to support the right to his Freedom of Speech displayed by the CEO.

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out
of other people’s money.”

The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare

Whole Foods CEO’s Health Care Views Provoke Online Progressive Review to Call for a Boycott

Calls to boycott Whole Foods Market are growing louder and more sophisticated following a Wall Street Journal opinion article by the company’s chief executive, John Mackey, in which he criticized President Obama’s health care plan and offered his own alternative.

Mackey’s article first prompted individuals to threaten taking their business elsewhere. But now the Progressive Review, an online alternative publication, is calling for a formal boycott, and campaigns are popping up all over, including on Facebook, a popular online social networking site.

Protesters are hoping a boycott will cut into the success of Whole Foods, the 10th largest food and drug store in the U.S., which reported sales of .8 billion for the last quarter, a 2 percent increase from the previous quarter.

As of Saturday, the Whole Foods Internet forum had more than 4,000 postings. One commenter thanked Mackey for revealing his political views.

Democrats are uniting around proposals to vastly expand federal regulation of health insurance, require everyone to have coverage, and compel employers to provide federally prescribed insurance or pay a new tax.

GOP introduced its own plan, that provides a path to universal coverage by redirecting current subsidies for health insurance to individuals. It also provides a new safety net that guarantees access to insurance for those with pre-existing conditions.

The nexus of their plan is redirecting the 0 billion annual tax subsidy for employment-based health insurance to individuals in the form of refundable, advanceable tax credits. Families would get ,700 a year and individuals ,300 to buy insurance and invest in Health Savings Accounts……

Why did they block allowing people to buy their own insurance policies that can be taken with them from job to job or even while unemployed?

Did Democrats intentionally sabotage the private insurance industry to justify a radical government takeover of healthcare?
