ZIIIIIIIIILLIONS of dollars are flushed down the toilet running them.
Just make medical care like police and fire department services, just another thing paid for directly by tax dollars.
Our taxes would go up by LESS than our current health insurance premiums.
Alternatively let's invent out of thin air insurance for police and fire dept coverage.
You call 911 and first they check if you paid your monthly premium.
No?
Well then, they can't help you; you're house is allowed to burn down and your children to be murdered.
That's as stupid as a for-profit industry standing between you and the medical care we all need.
The only reason the health insurance industry exists to day is, like with the legality of sales of cigarettes, it existed yesterday . . . and oh yeah . . . campaign contributions and their lobbyists in Washington.
What does it say, about me and kenny, when I don't necessarily . . . disagree with him?
The only thing that will ever do any good, whatsoever, is tort reform. But, as kenny pointed out, that is not possible. Not if you owe your last election and the next election to those that need reforming.
Thanks, kenny, for saving me from spouting off at the mouth like a Republican. Now, thing2 and I have nothing to argue about.
But I like to argue with you!
