1. And I hear people over and over again

how can we do healthcare for all? How can we possibly put private insurance companies out of business? Talk to you next year when you're paying double for shit coverage. I wonder how much of a bailout Washington will slip them out of the 500 billion slush fund ?

2. Wow, finally! Someone that knows the truth. Health insurance is nothing more than a middle-man

All the huge medical bills that people simply cannot pay; they will hound those that have some assets until they go broke trying to pay the bills, and for those that cannot pay? They write-off those so called losses for their outrageous billings riddled with errors. Tax write-off. It's a beautiful deal.

But it's a nightmare for the people. Universal Health Care, period. No choice exists

I also understand those that work in the industry don't want their industry to go away. Start thinking about a transfer or another job because this crisis is going to lay this industry bare
