McCain is right about deregulating health insurance. It's the ONLY way we'll get single payer
health care in the US. Deregulate, the health care industry will go the way of the banks, we will bail them out and own them.

Health care crisis fixed.

Hard way around it but hey, if it works. . .

4. There's a big gap...

5. That's an interesting possibility. All the insurance companies competing with wildly low rates
