Medical Insurance
The only winners in this whole debacle will be the insurance companies and the Congressmen who will be the beneficiaries of their generous campaign contributions. The insurance companies will be delivered 45 million new subscribers and are already spreading the word that costs will rise because of it. Thet are already anticipating having to increase their overhead costs which are already at 31% of the total cost of coverage. Of course, profits must increase proportionately to keep pace.
The only answer is to seriously consider the untthinkable....a system of taxpayer suported, universal medical insurance that removes the greedy, disingenuous insurance companies from the picture. Congress started this debacle by excluding that option from consideration and has never given it a fair chance to be copared to a retail, for-profit model. The American public is being fooled into thinking this mess is "reform" when, in fact it is nothing short of mandated, government endorse mney laundering.
Anal?
Anal? Don't you mean anile, as in the female equivalent of senile....which the editors must be to have let this one get past them. No wonder the News has become a joke around here!
"Anile" could work. But I like "anal," as in this dictionary definition: "A collection of very irritating personality traits that include stubbornness, orderliness, and a desire to control others and their surroundings."
Is that Bigred1 as in the Army's famed infantry division?
