1. Health insurance is a SCAM. Why do we put up with this?

2. Why you put up with it is a question I can't answer.
Why do people vote against their own interests? I don't get it.

4. People who need reform the most are fighting against it the hardest.
It makes no sense.

3. Incredibly, there are actually fools who defend our diseased, corrupt health care system
Edited on Wed Dec-09-09 04:30 PM by brentspeak
People who would rather die (or rather, let other people die) than support the United States adopting a sane "socialist" national health insurance system. Funny how much of the rest of the civilized world have single-payer health insurance systems -- or even outright socialist national health care systems -- and yet haven't become socialist nations.

Car sales manager. Enough said.

8. For, apparently, Mercedes
He should be looking for free market solutions to his little problem, rather than asking for charity.
