Do you mean to let our parent...Words have meaning. Do you mean to let our parents and grandparents to have lost literally 60-70% in the last year because of the stock market, just wither up and die? Bush wanted seniors to invest in solid, gold-chip stocks to preserve their nest-egg. Those banks, Citibank for one, has been regarded that way. To get personal, my Mother lost a lot from a small inheritance that was given to her by being invested in those (excuse the language) fucking, piece of shit bank stocks. You have read my posts and seen me rile against them. Banks are worthless and produce NO VALUE to our society other than that of blood-sucking vampires. By the way, always feel free to use language that you mean to say here. There are no language rules. If I'm offended or think it wrong, I won't reply. <br /><br />I TOTALLY agree with tort reform and allowing insurance companies to sell their wares across state lines. I URGE you to check out tort reform and get back to me as to how much of a % of health care reform costs it is. I have looked it up and have found it not as much as claimed. BUT, I agree, let's have it. They already have it in several states, Texas being one that comes to mind, did it lower any costs there, or a better question, How did it help the people?<br /><br />My understanding, and I am sure there is SOME correction you can find, is that insurance generally is a state regulated industry, and is subject more to state laws, and could be purchased interstate if the laws would allow. I would appreciate your finding of facts on this one. <br /><br />As I said in my post elsewhere regarding your words, How about we eliminate medicare, medicaide, The VA, and social security, all government run programs with the highest approval ratings, and see where we are. If that's your solution, then I respect it. I don't think that, while philosophically thinkable, it's politically, or more important, pracitally possible.genmanagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665433177332399447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753851248167387984.post-67954558098728409402009-12-15T12:27:03.919-05:002009-12-15T12:27:03.919-05:00You didn't miss much....
