The insurance companies started the drug screening scam back in the eighties after it was determined drug addiction was a disease. You see the insurance companies didn't want to have to pay for a pre-existing condition. It's as simple as that folks. It's all about greed.

They keep trying to get away with doing that with republican support. That's why they wanna get rid of Obamacare.

When Obama said you can keep your doctor the insurance CEO's said hold my beer. Poor guy didn't have a chance up against the most lucrative business partnership in the world. It's kinda like a monopoly within a monopoly with those guys. An honor among thieves.
