2. Good comparison

And one like that might get through to people, especially in Tornado alley which is highly republican. The other thing that's not getting through peoples thick skulls, is that if you had one big insurance "company" that took premiums and covered everybody, and maybe even dealt in home insurance, and auto, and just put that money into a big nationwide "pool" and when people got sick, or had an accident, they were covered 100% and they even said: " We won't take profits, we'll just cover the cost of administration and pay our employees, but you the customer is foremost and first" Do ya think it would work? WAIT A MINUTE! No Profits! That's unamerican....why.. why... isn't that Universal coverage? Why, only our Government, the people we elected to take care of us could pull that off, and That would be..... SOCIALISM!!! EEK!... but it's cheaper, and it would make the entire population happier and much more healthy, and they'd have more money to spend on other thinks like food and clothing and shelter, thus making the economy grow in areas never before seen.:shrug:
