I guess. And the people who died in Ford Pintos, yeah they will stop doing business with Ford. And the thousands of people who die every year in hospitals from malpractice are definitely going to go somewhere in the next life. Them stupid people who expect for the government to protect them from innocent buisnesses ... And I'm pretty sure the people who were suckered into bad loans will not finance with the same companies ... well not for a few years after they partially recover from bankruptcy. Yep, the American dream. Cheat your neighbors. up with corporations, lobby the government, unrestricted spending by coprs on political ads. It's the government's fault, not the corporations who own the government.

Why would anyone assume otherwise? Because I'm a liberal? The biggest advantage to universal healthcare is that it's cheaper. It doesn't make financial sense to have this huge insurance bureaucracy if all the unemployed people can just go to emergency and stick the insureds with all the bills. It's crazy. |
